...Franklin L. Ford, told registrants in the 1963 summer session that Harvard was in many ways much like the pre-1789 French monarchy--"irrational, frequently unjust, tradition-bound, and culturally distinctive." If people tried to make sense out of the university, Ford warned, it "would come down in a shower of blood." It was also just over two years after The Crimson ran an article called "Revolution in the Harvard Yard" --about a new spirit among freshmen. "Perhaps the most noteworthy example of this spirit," the article explained, "is among the 100 boys who are playing on the freshman football...
Counterpoint does demonstrate an active editing imagination in a number of short scenes. Several times Brown skillfully imitates Hitchcock's murder-in-the-shower sequence from Psycho, and there's an interesting scene at the headphones in Hilles Library. But they do this at Carpenter Center all the time...
Nets players as well as opponents shower him with superlatives. Erving, who will be 24 this month, discusses himself with neither modesty nor bravado: "I feel that I can drive, float, and change direction easily in the air better than most of the other players.

To their other side loomed a mass of white fists, tear-streamed faces and rapidly-moving lips mouthing...
What the Japanese have done is shower money, in sums of $1,000,000 or more, on a handful of U.S. universities that offer at least some Japanese studies. The total so far is $16 million, but there is almost certainly more to come. While the Japanese government has given $1,000,000 to each of ten U.S. universities,* the fund raisers have their sights set on the great industrial combines that do extensive business with the U.S. The universities have already discovered that they can sometimes get money from such Japanese firms simply by asking...
