...Weiss, Chris Burns, and Dave Vitale were thrown together freshman year a floor above Dick Manchester in Grays West--the Holworthy of the South Yard in 1964. Bob Brooks, who had roomed with a Crimson reporter in Hollis, linked up with those four as they headed for Eliot House. A sophomore detour in Claverly Hall landed them next to two legitimate Holworthys, Marshall Goldberg and Mike Hallock. The next year they moved to Eliot's K entry, and with a couple of sidekicks thrown in have controlled the third floor for two years...

...Mexico and later in Venezuela, was understandably devoted to unfettered free enterprise. His mother, Aloise, was from a deep-rooted family of New Orleans, where she acquired a distinct distaste for importunate Yankees and their progressive ideas. The family conservatism was, if anything, strengthened when the elder Buckley was thrown out of Mexico as a "pernicious foreigner" in 1921 and his holdings expropriated. "It gave him," says his daughter Priscilla, "a lifelong distrust of revolutionary and socialist governments...
