Marks: Klondike Albert, 19-years-old, attacked by three whites while walking to an MFDP rally. Beaten with a blackjack and a stick and cut severely in the arm; shoulder probably fractured. When local hospital refused treatment, taken to Clarksdale...
...enough lamentation. This Lampoon is, as I said before, another story. What's to be bitter? It's funny. And now, the palable crux of this innovation: four "distillations" of four Harvard publications. Caustic, sophisticated, sometimes subtle, sometimes slap-stick--honestly, they're just marvelous. A pity that freshmen, whom these parodies are designed to initiate, are unfamiliar with the archetypes, here so unmercifully stripped down to their naked pretensions...
Sunshine & Smiles. What Makarios was really trying to feed the Turkish Cypriots last week was a carrot, in hopeful contrast to the stick he had been applying to them for weeks. His bullying efforts to force the Turkish minority to lay down its arms and accept Greek Cypriot rule had failed, even boomeranged against him in the form of Turkey's threat to invade.

He got along famously with the new U.N. mediator, Ecuador's ex-President Galo Plaza, replacing the late Sakari Tuomioja of Finland, who died...
Still smarting from those experiences, N.F.O. adherents this time set out to make their boycott stick. Besides Bonduel, the Midwest has recently counted many deeds of destruction. Barns have burned in the night, livestock buying stations have been bombed, truck drivers have been stopped and threatened at road blocks, roadside snipers have fired out of the dark at speeding trucks, and at least one market-bound highway route has been sabotaged with a plank bristling with broken sickle blades. In Minnesota, Wisconsin and South Dakota there is talk of calling out the National Guard...

The Buddhists who earlier in the week had mounted a parade of 150,000 people for the burial of two "martyrs" in the recent religious riots, were evidently taken by surprise. Strangely, however, Buddhist army detachments were making no resistance to Phat's takeover, and there was no sign of activity from the air force commander, who had pledged two weeks earlier that his planes would swiftly crush...
