...justification for the funding of any sort of advocacy group by mandatory contributions from students. It makes no difference how many students agree with PIRG's positions on issues concerning the environment and the rights of consumers. The article says that in 1972, PIRG had the support of over half the students; but even if 95 per cent of them now supported it, it has no right to extort contributions from the remaining 5 per cent...
...committee of this sort can be beneficial to everyone at Harvard and is long overdue. While race relations at Harvard are good relative to those at many other colleges, there are still some very unfortunate barriers to free interaction between all students here.

She was, said a London acquaintance, "like the figurehead of a ship, a fantastic poet's girl, a sort of corn-goddess." Of her marriage to Dylan, Caitlin wrote in Leftover Life to Kill, "We lived almost separate lives, though physically close, and passed each other with a detached phrase on strictly practical matters; as though we were no more than familiar landmarks, in the furniture of our minds...
