Seven years later, E4A is drastically different from the organization Bunting originally conceived. Its growth and change clearly reflect a more realistic view of the world beyond Harvard's reassuring walls. But, just as critically, E4A reflects the difficulties inherent in running a program of cooperative, student- controlled educational activities in a competitive University traditionally emphasizing other goals...
...doing everything from the Lizard to the Jackdaw Strut in response to the band's high-decibel efforts. As respite to ears and feet, a mentalist is brought out. He memorizes and repeats backward a long list of items thrown at him by the spectators. The answers reflect the evening's mood: lips, left breast, vasectomy, sandbox, postnasal drip. A new arrival, watching from a wallflower's position, gets a friendly approach: "Hi, aren't you talking to anybody? I'm Lois. You shouldn't be shy around here...
...spiritual movements. So, too, do the offshoots of Buddhism, which began in India as a reform movement within Hinduism in the 6th century B.C.

The U.E. and International Union of Electrical Workers won only a limited escalator after striking G.E. for 14 weeks...
Luce constantly worried that leaning too far to be fair or kind to a subject infringed on what he considered "our contract with our readers to tell them the truth." The political truth, as Luce saw it, lay in Bull-Moose Republicanism. The extent to which TIME should reflect that view in its reporting was a sore issue between Luce and some of his editors. The tug of war was fiercest in 1952, when Luce became personally involved in backing Dwight Eisenhower's nomination for President...
