When Ikeda declared his intention of pushing the bill through the upper house, the Socialists gave the signal for the mobs to move into the streets in strength. But this time the major newspapers, which had egged on last year's riots, were critical of the demonstrators; only the hard-core Sohyo unionists and Zengakuren students turned out. One crowd of 27,000 swarmed into Hibiya Park in downtown Tokyo to shout "Down with the Ikeda government!" Then the chanting demonstrators shuffled off toward the Diet, a few blocks away, inching their way along at ushi aruki...
...only thing out of keeping about Trujillo's death was the aftermath. Instead of serving as a signal for revolution to sweep down the hills into the capital, the assassination was followed by stupefied silence among his 2,900,000 subjects. General Diaz, the assassin, may have hoped in some vague way that without the strongman, the Trujillo regime would crumble. But Diaz' main motive was apparently revenge, not revolution. A favorite of Trujillo's brother Héctor, he had fallen into disgrace when some of his relatives were implicated last year in a plot against...
...team well supplied with dependable starters, he may dawdle unnoticed day after day on the bullpen bench, get his exercise only by pitching batting practice. Not on the floundering Cubs.

Still, it was a magnificent milestone on man's path into space; it was a signal achievement of U.S. science. And it brightened the cold-war world with a luster all its own. It was a gaudy American gamble, a nation going for broke in the glare of pitiless publicity...
...necessarily the best anyway, from him or by spontaneous cogitation. In fact, Monro told the CRIMSON at a press conference that though he would like to "get rid of the anachronism of Class representation and have the Houses represented the way they want," the Dunster move is "a danger signal," not a sign of hope. He said "there is no reason for other Houses to think about seceding, if the issue is left open," and that it would not "make any sense" to have two student councils. He was earnest in asking for serious and considered discussion of all plans...
