ISLANDERS vs. LOS ANGELES: In an attempt to reverse the pattern of the past few years, the Islanders suffered through a mediocre season in hopes of saving their best hockey for the play-offs. Dionne, Simmer and Taylor are still imposing, but psyched New Yorkers, helped by Butch Gorings and unloading Billy Harris, will guillotine Kings in three...
...senior Faculty member, the "most unassailable" choice. Virtually unknown in the College, in his two and-a-half years as dean of the Law School, Bok had acquired a reputation as peacemaker and diplomat.

Thirty minutes later, all the white students were evacuated by the police and school officials, while the black students were kept in class to "simmer down." Since Hyde Park High is 40 per cent white, black parents wondered why the white students were considered in greater danger, and hence told to leave first. Black students were not sent home until an hour and a half later...
