There are of course other areas in which students have not been so successful, notably in inter-departmental and more socially relevant programs. But current student frustrations do not stem primarily from these shortcomings. One result of the delegation system is that it foils efforts to obtain power, run the College, or at least be an integral part in the decision-making. A student subcommittee, for example, will never be independent of the full committee's judgement regardless of the merits of a decision, just as a full committee containing students will not be independent of the Faculty's vote...
...artist in goat's clothing, who prances irresistibly through several marriages (his own and other men's), countless boudoirs, the stodgy academic community and the massed roadblocks of commercial hypocrisy. Buckthorne's mortal fatigue may be the result of amorous overindulgence. Then again it may just stem from the fact that he seems to have starred in so many recent comic novels. But Cassill's prose is swift, precise and clever, and on the strength of it Rodney may be worth one final evening's visit before he is turned out to pasture...

As his own man, Brewer enjoys statewide renown, could prove a formidable opponent to Wallace if, as expected, they square off in 1970 for the governorship...
...Despite Castro's best efforts, however, the gripes continued wherever Cubans gathered. "There is no room in our ranks for complainers or weaklings, for sowers of panic, for grumblers," warned the Cuban Labor Confederation. Castro's revolutionary committee went even further. It called on all Cubans to "stem lack of seriousness, counter-revolutionary rumors and jokes"-a laughable attempt to curb even humor in Castro's ever more puritanical Cuba...
...Harvard won eight of the eleven events, five of them in record time. The superstars had come off the bench or out of the water again and again to stem the tide of Yale's reserves. Kaufmann swam in three individual events, Pringle in three, and Freestyler Bill Zentgraf in two. Between the three they accounted for five of Harvard's eight victories and 30 of Harvard's 48 points. It was a story of good coaching and individual efforts. Time and again Bill Brooks' delicate distribution of his tired stars foiled Moriarity. Yale saved too many of its stars...
