...biggest Vietnamese colony outside of Southeast Asia and no fewer than 150 Vietnamese restaurants, is definitely pro-Hanoi. In an early draft of his statement on the talks, Johnson betrayed some apprehension about how the French would act when he said that he hoped they would grant equal treatment to all parties. The final draft described France as a country "where all parties should expect such treatment." Despite Johnson's mild concern, however, the choice of Paris over Warsaw was a vindication of his insistence on a compatible site...
Irwin's technique, therefore, is to turn off the spectator in the very act of turning him on. Not all enjoy the treatment. When Irwin's early canvases were shown at the 1965 Sao Paulo Bienal, Brazilians were so incensed that they slashed, kicked and spat at them, presumably while the guards were not looking.

Ironic it is, but not half so much as it would have been if his biographer had followed Strachey's example and given short shrift to one of the best subjects of this century...
...Cliffies lured freshmen in close to Bertram Hall with the promise of panties, then unloaded buckets of water on them. Several freshmen, enraged by the treatment, formed a human pyramid up to the second floor window. One student got inside and opened the door for 25 others, who were immediately tossed out by a University...
