...stint there broadened my perspective toward Harvard. I realized that Harvard was just as much a part of me as I was a part of California. I no longer feared or disdained the place. Instead, I could semi-objectively criticize its weaknesses and strengths. I was ready to meet Harvard head-on and no longer worried about becoming diseased by the place. Stanford's innoculation prevented growth of the germ which, I discovered, had been inside of me all along. Once I had recognized my ambitious nature, I could keep my competitive zeal in check and deal with Harvard people...
...keeping with University policy of fostering class spirit, most freshmen will live in Harvard Yard, the oldest part of the University. The ivy-covered buildings, lush green lawn and shady elms make the Yard an attractive place to start a four-year stint. People lounge on the grass, frisbees fly and dogs run loose, painting an idyllic picture of college for the newcomers. Enjoy the elms now.

His last record, "Part of the Search," was a commercial, nostalgic attempt at the Swing music of the Thirties. It's probably a good idea to listen to WBCN's latest broadcast tonight before you shell out your money...
...good jokes," continued Caroline's new acquaintance, "and she's so unspoiled, you can't believe it." Popular with the other 15 teen-age interns, Caroline, 16, is working for only three weeks, and she is not being paid the customary $50 a week for her stint on the Hill. Apart from clerical jobs in the office, she spends her time attending committee meetings. Last week she was spotted leaving the Judiciary Committee debate on impeachment. Caroline had no comment, however, on the irony of John F. Kennedy's daughter following impeachment proceedings against Richard...
