...back to the time of the Children's Crusade, of which the outcome was their capture and eventual use as youthful slaves. Of course, there is a distinct difference in that the Harvard undergraduate has reached the maturity of long pants and an occasional opportunity of voicing his tenuous views on politics. Yet like school children they are beginning a national student political campaign even before they have learned to articulate...
...This cloud is the out-spraying of the earth's spherical atmosphere which hugs the earth like a skin about 100 miles thick. Neutral atoms and molecules at the outer rim of the atmosphere dart further away from the earth into space. Sunlight ionizes them, creating an extremely tenuous cloud of ions and electrons.

It is without any doubt too faint to be discerned even from...

While not attaining to any new artistic heights or reaching any profound depths of subtlety, it must be said, however, that as mere entertainment, "Jealousy" is perfectly commendable...
