...case does not arise in isolation: for participating in the same struggle eighteen students have been thrown out of the University, numerous others admonished, one student sentenced to a year in jail, and a number of teaching fellows, and another faculty member have had their jobs threatened. It is necessary to fight back hard against this attempted intimidation and repression--which is aimed not so much at a few individuals, but rather at the thousands of students at Harvard who during the struggle this spring came to the realization that ROTC should be abolished and Harvard expansion stopped...
...Gandhi had thrown her prestige behind Acting President V. V. Giri, but the Syndicate vetoed his nomination. Then Indira switched her support to Food and Agriculture Minister Jagjivan Ram. The Syndicate, however, forced through the approval of Sanjiva Reddy, Speaker of the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) and a loyal Syndicate member.

I don't have to tell you that this stuff against the Bird is political suppression. But through it all I truly believe that it's the hip cultural movement that's eventually got to save the South. The South so eagerly gobbles up everything that's shiny and new in America. Right now it's Playboy Clubs and Tastees. But they drink our rock...
