While Harvard and most other colleges remained quiet, Amherst College yesterday declined the Air Force offer which would have allowed its AFROTC unit to remain.

...Quiet, thoughtful Paul L. (for Linton) Patterson, now 55, was born in Ohio, the son of a Disciples of Christ minister, moved to Oregon in 1900, and left few distinguishing marks along his trail: law school at the University of Oregon, a small-town practice in Hillsboro (pop. 5,142), work with the Boy Scouts, and a back seat in the state senate.

It was also a high-minded, rather literary world (Adlai's maternal grandfather was publisher of the Bloomington Pantograph). Young Adlai played charades-once he enacted "a sunbeam on a rug"-and listened...
