...Legs. At the height of that folly, smoke was belching from millions of tiny, homemade backyard steel furnaces stoked by peasants-a fantastic waste of manpower that eventually resulted in serious food shortages. When the do-it-yourself mania finally ran its course, China's economy had been set back by nearly a decade...
...perhaps knocking a ball through a goal, have they won in their 15 or 20 years?). Nearly all are wearing caps (the few who are bareheaded haven't taken theirs off here). One out of four is tipsy, one out of ten is drunk. Every other one is smoking, and so disgustingly, with his butt stuck to his lower lip!

Ten years ago, student liberals denounced the "final clubs," Harvard's version of fraternities, for excluding Jews, Negroes and political militants. Today the clubs are viewed with more tolerance, partly because they are no longer exclusive. Toby Campion, a junior on probation for participating in a recent anti-ROTC demonstration, is a member of Porcellian; Ernie Wilson, a black student leader from...
