...nearby Son My, the operation was grimly efficient. The inhabitants, who had a long record of sheltering Viet Cong, scrambled for cover around 6 a.m. when an hour-long mortar and artillery barrage began. When it stopped, helicopters swooped in, disgorging C Company's three platoons. One platoon tore into the hamlet, while the other two threw a cordon around the place. "My family was eating breakfast, when the Americans came," said Do Chuc, a 48-year-old peasant who claims to have lost a son and a daughter in the shooting that followed. "Nothing was said...
...been six years since a Penn squad has beaten Harvard, but until 1967, the Crimson had poor luck at Philadelphia. Two years ago it shattered Penn, 45-7. to break the Franklin Field jinx. Last year, in a "battle of the undefeateds," it tore the Quakers apart, scoring 21 points in the opening quarter and rolling to an easy 28-6 victory.

...CRIMSON article on the arrest of six people who were putting up posters for the SDS October 4th march did not emphasize the role of Harvard in these arrests. One Harvard patrol car covertly followed us for three hours, while other cops tore down the posters (and later brought them to court as evidence against us.) We went all the way to Medford and North Cambridge-and so did the University police. After they had watched us put up several posters on Church St., we were surrounded in front of Claverly Hall by eight Harvard police and eight Cambridge cops...
