March 9: King Collins and several companions ran head-on into the Harvard Administration at Eliot House. Two of the girls and one of the boys from the group attracted a large crowd when they took off all their clothes and put them in washers in the Eliot House laundry room. Later, the entire group refused to leave a Harvard students' suite and left only after a showdown with House Master Alan Heimert, Dean Glimp, and Dean Watson. The administrators threatened to call in police if Collins tried to remain...
...Martin was an effective defeatist when he wanted to be, and he ran that Saturday date pretty much the way he thought it would run itself. He and Susan had one strained laugh--no, two--over the incident in the lab, and then both of them clammed up for the rest of the night.

But Professor Hughes and, for that matter, Betsy were only backwaters in the great stream...
...character part, he has simply avoided living, allowing Ireland's failure elitists-the drunks, the loafers-to recognize in him their kindred spirit. He has not even been able to fail grandly. The one rebel he has deliciously identified with, a protégé who once ran away with the canon's silver, has ended up by becoming a trivial middle-aged success in America...
