...With this kind of awareness of the truth, you can change me from being one of your sternest Negro critics to an enthusiastic reader. Having been given a chance, many Negroes have already proved by their achievements that their intelligence can be matched with that of any other group. But these were the minority who had the strength to persist against great odds. When the majority of Negroes have the chance and feel that their environment is not so overwhelmingly hostile, they will prove it too. Perhaps, in the end, 1967 will be known as the year of developing understanding...
...Harvard Law's current approach. As part of the two day sesquicentennial celebration, he sounded off on one lack that he considers paramount. Said Griswold: "It has often been said, for a smile, that legal education sharpens the mind by narrowing it. To my mind, there is more truth to this than we have been willing to admit.

The truth must be that Stalin needed Beria to con solidate his rule of Russia during the trembling 1930s, and toward that end Beria murdered tens of thousands. Svet lana's narrative coincides with the bloodiest reign in history. She almost misses it and remarks with startling naivete, "People shot themselves...
...others, who make occasional use of the building and include a variety of interesting upper middleclass students, usually consider the final club worthwhile despite the dues. The simple truth is, however, that the clubs belong to a different Harvard era, and they are barely changing at a time when the College's student body has changed significantly in just a few years. The clubs must either open up their membership more, or else withdraw further than they are at the present...
