Another attraction leading student minds from Quincy's strait-laced code of ethics were the Boston pubs and easyhouses. The Charles River toll bridge provided easy access to the city, and the hope that students could be confined to College grounds rapidly evaporated. Why be a gentleman all the time, students in the 1830's must have asked themselves, with Boston merriment only a bridge away...
...university students went out on strike in solidarity with the Portoviejo victims, only to run into tough cops who thwacked them with sabers, then used guns.

...Campaigner McKeldin-like D'Alesandro before him-found himself the victim of time's toll and the itch for change. In a dull campaign, pleasant, smiling Harold Grady paraded his past (onetime FBI agent, state's attorney for Baltimore city) and his children (four), vaguely mentioned urban renewal and the city's sagging transit system. But taking office next week, Grady will undergo a sudden, cold-shower lesson in humility. Like every large U.S. city, Baltimore is staggering under booming population, a tax squeeze, demands for more schools, housing and municipal services...
