...University Hall--gray grooved blocks across the Yard. It was so much more comfortable. The Deans love you, and they welcome you, tell you where to sit (check your Bursar's card to make sure you are one of them). It was peaceful and chatty and comfortable. But even here, on our side of the Yard, no one knew quite what to do. Like the fast--if there are no demands, there is no purpose; if there is no purpose, nothing happens. So nothing happened...
...Harvard meant mainly that it was a far easier and a far safer target for action at the time. If activists had been serious about moving against the University--and they should have been--plans would have been made longer in advance, the day for the Massachusetts Hall sit-in would have been the day of a corporation meeting, demands would have been set, real investigations into Harvard's finances would have been made.

Come and sit with me and tell me that all my fears are untrue." But neither utters a word. "Contact can hurt," concludes Narrator Ralph Bellamy, "but not as much as non-contact." ∙BOOKS. A paperback with...
Even on your first trip to a skin flick parlor, what first strikes you is not the bare bosom on the screen, but the people in the audience. There are about fifty lean men, sitting bolt-upright and silent, and scattered evenly throughout the theatre. Un-written skin flick code says no one may sit within three seats of anyone else, even on crowded weekends...
