Minutes later, it was all over--charges were formally dropped against Carl Stork '81 and Nathan Hagen '81, the two Quincy House students arrested last spring after they showed "Deep Throat" in the House dining hall...
Baker, now the understudy, will someday be a star. Her questions trapped John Droney (see below) into agreeing to drop charges, and her carefully reasoned argument in front of a federal judge almost set Stork and Hagen free a month earlier. It will take her a few years before she gets dashing down pat, and sometimes she's a little over-organized, which can be dull.

Within an hour, instead of basking in the glow of a job well done, they were feverishly preparing a one-page statement explaining that they did not condone censorship and arrests. The people...
