Getting to Radcliffe from Harvard Square was the first problem. We walked, my parents and I, for what seemed like miles, asking directions from dozens of-long-haired girls on bicycles; we followed that goddamned brick wall down Garden St. only to get lost again. I now suspect my parents were as helpless as 1: Harvard Square is a far cry from Long Island, still farther from the Bronx. But we made it late; we made it to Radcliffe Yard, and collapsed in the waiting room of the Dean of Admissions. We made it to the Waiting Room and waited...

He remained calm; in his behalf, his lawyer pleaded not guilty to each...
...first Juan Corona seemed an unlikely suspect. He is married and the father of four daughters who have achieved the Chicano dream of middle-class American respectability. His stucco-and-wood ranch-style house in Yuba City proudly boasts a front-window trophy that Corona won last year for float decoration in the annual Our Lady of Guadalupe parade. He is deeply devoted to the Roman Catholic Church and is a member of the Cursilistas, a group trying to revive religion among Chicanes. Said his distressed wife Glo-rida: "He was always a good husband. He treated us right, without...
