...very distressed by the CRIMSON'S article on the Civil Defense demonstrations and by the response of certain students to the fact that TOCSIN formally cooperated with Boston SANE on this demonstration. The article gave a very inaccurate impression of the tone of the picketing: the SANE demonstration was as well-planned and serious as the TOCSIN walk.

Rosenberg analyses the grotesque, distorted humor of Oliver Twist and relates it to Dickens' later work...
Gabriel M. Kolko, teaching fellow in History and chairman of the SANE civil defense committee, said he was concerned about rallying more public support to the demonstrations.
