...rebellious base and arrested its top officers. The army fell obediently silent. The President ordered his irregulars rearmed. Then, as if finally confident that he, after all, is the man in charge, Castillo Armas restored constitutional liberties which his junta had suspended, and moved from the rented side-street house he had occupied since the June victory and installed himself in the presidential palace...
Every weekday morning a Cautions Upperclassman dives underground, grabs a train for Central Square, and then immediately turns around and grabs another one back. Despite his actions, his motives are simple, and such a circuitous route accomplishes a definite purpose. For with the present acute side-street congestion, the subterranean gambit is the safest way to cross Massachusetts Avenue and still keep a Bursar's Card intact.

A problem any time...

Their grown-up party is a bust: their high spirits produce silliness; their satire goes sour; their amateurism sticks out like a sore thumb. A topical revue, Let Freedom Sing purveys standing jokes (the WAACs, Washington overcrowding, hoarding, snooty refugees) without giving them a single new twist. Composer Rome's tunes have none of the lilt he put into Pins and Needles and Sing Out the News...
