...with unruly students. On Halloween, after a soldier had been hurt by a cherry bomb that exploded near his face, faculty members for the first time helped break up milling students, although their pleas did not increase respect for the troops. Shouted Student Housing Director Binford Nash: "They are trigger happy, and they will shoot. So for the sake of your mothers, go back to your rooms." University officials and M.P.s searched student rooms, turned up a startling array of weapons...
Stashinsky pulled through. While passing Rebet on the staircase of an office building, he pointed the six-inch aluminum barrel at Rebet's face and pulled the trigger. Rebet toppled without a sound, and Stashinsky did not look back as he walked to a canal and dropped the weapon into the water.

...internationally bred, and he will presumably make the Boston speak a more international tongue-well-modulated, clear and precise. Although a great orchestra does not change its accent overnight, the Boston played with wonderful clarity and precision last week, responding to Leinsdorf's tick-tock beat with hair-trigger reflexes. The orchestra was installed on risers introduced by Leinsdorf to get a better integrated sound, and it was apparent from front row to rear that the men were emotionally "up" as well-for their new conductor as much as for the new hall...
