...obvious that this "answer"--the House system as it now functions--is no longer satisfactory to many undergraduates. A steady stream gratefully moves off-campus every year; others, who remain in the Houses, quietly mumble about the defects of House living such as parietals and crowded suites...
Beyond Korea. Clearly, the Communists' Tet offensive had much to do with the groundswell of pessimism. An unremitting stream of TV clips and still photographs-such as LIFE'S classic shot of wounded U.S. Marines stacked aboard a tank in Hue-daily underscored the war's horror. Since the widespread attacks began on Jan. 31, the U.S. has lost an average of 500 men a week, pushing the overall casualty total-Americans killed in action or wounded-since the beginning of 1961 above Korean War totals...
Choice Graffiti. From the outside, the club could hardly be plainer. Except for a black awning, a red flag emblazoned with a monkey wrench, and a stream of Rolls-Royces arriving and departing, the grey, two-story building looks no different than it did in World War II, when it was a factory turning out bombsights. Inside, the proletarian theme continues with chicken-wirescreened windows, secondhand tables bought at auction for $5 apiece, and bartenders who are togged out in dungarees and blue denim work shirts...
From a crescent-shaped position along the west wall, the enemy was able to keep a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements flowing into the Citadel. At week's end this position was threatened by allied forces advancing on the Citadel from the west. For mobility within the city, the Communist troops found a second, more cunning conduit.

Sometimes a tank lurched, then treaded wildly through brick walls...
From 1960 until his arrest by the KGB in 1962, Colonel Oleg Penkovsky of Soviet military intelligence funneled out to the West a steady stream of Moscow's most vital secrets. His side of the story was recounted in The Penkovsky Papers, published in 1965. Contact on Gorky Street is the autobiographical account of the British businessman, recruited by British intelligence, who befriended Penkovsky in Moscow and became his conduit to the West. The book is far more chilling than any of the fictional adventures of James Bond or Harry Palmer...
