...Note--The much maligned Harvard Band paid an unexpected visit to The Crimson's 14 Plympton St. office last night. The band has been on a vendetta against Cambridge's only breakfast table daily for some time now, and band members refused to comment on why they decided to raid the newspaper's offices after last night's hockey game. Still, Crimson editors said they were impressed with the peppy, if not always on-key, rendition of "10,000 Men of Harvard" in their front office. "I should have joined the band," remarked Crimson Editorial Chair John L. Larew...

Struck by a grenade, he suffered a wound that required amputation of his right leg just below the knee. Ironically, he was the only U.S. casualty during the raid.

What's needed, he said, is a "desert sword" -- an offensive operation to decapitate Iraq's leadership and destroy its military capacity. Last week, in a syndicated column, Henry Kissinger said he would be "very uneasy" if the U.S. waited beyond the end of the year to take "military measures." Otherwise...
...racism exists in their islands. Still, every so often, Tokyo proves that insularity breeds bigotry. In 1986 former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone touched off an uproar by declaring that blacks and minorities lowered the I.Q. of Americans. Two weeks ago, another Japanese official was at it. Following a police raid on a red-light district, Justice Minister Seiroku Kajiyama casually commented that prostitutes ruined neighborhoods, then added, "It's like in America when neighborhoods become mixed because blacks move in and whites are forced...
