Come back with me 40 years to the rabid spring of 1970. President Nixon announced the invasion of Cambodia, and campuses exploded. Kids who had never picked up a rock in their lives were occupying the classrooms they used to study in. When National Guardsmen shot four unarmed students at Kent State, virtually the entire system of higher education shuddered and stopped. The fabric of the country seemed to be tearing; everything about the older generation was contaminated, corrupt. Asked in a Gallup poll if there was a generation gap, 74% of the young people of that era said...
...student life and often can be seen dining with students, opening up their apartment for Rock Band, or destroying students at ping-pong. Stein clubs are not Quincy’s strongest point, but there are events such as Field Day, the newly implemented talent show, and Assassins every spring that bring the house together for carefree fun.

"I have two unauthorized biographies coming out against me in the spring," Beck said at one point. Minutes later, Beck went even further. "Do you realize my family is at stake?" he said. "You've got a little scandal with your children in college. I've got one for all time now, because I am not going to resign. I'm not going to back down. I have come...
...staying the course could carry a high price. Trying to fight on for civilian trials could produce the kind of dramatic vote against the President that took place last spring, when the Senate voted 90-6 to block the transfer of Guantánamo detainees to the U.S. A Graham amendment to block funding for civilian trials for 9/11 conspirators failed 55-45 last fall, but Democratic aides say an undetermined number of Democrats may have slipped since Christmas...
