...another post in the government, even though such a story does not relate to the Summer School or its students. Although such stories may be of less interest to the Summer School community than news of the latest water-fight between Thayer and Weld, they are, in our eyes, somewhat more important...
...police inspector who just happens to be a woman. Funny thing, that--it appears the protagonist of almost every new film nowadays has to be female.

The next day the French capital was treated to the surprising spectacle of a mass demonstration on the dissidents' behalf that brought together French Communist officials and Jewish groups, such as the Youths for Zionism. Arms linked, they marched through the street to the rhythmic chant UPI of "KGB equals Gestapo" and "Socialism, yes?Gulag...
