...Jesse Jackson on Tuesday night started out looking like an exhausted volcano, voice hoarse and cracking, and now and then veering into the unintelligible. Jackson heated up as he went on, though, and got off a few lines that roused the house. But Teddy Kennedy, who has become a solid gray block of a man, a monument to the unbearable heaviness of being and to the sheer coagulation of the past, gave a dutiful fulmination that seemed to have been phoned in from far away...
Christian Marty was a fighter. The drive that pushed him to the top of the piloting profession also made him an avid sportsman who would hang glide over volcano craters, ski the most difficult slaloms and who, in 1982, became the first Frenchman ever to windsurf across the Atlantic.

After a battle over buttons, some might accuse the council of having turned a molehill into a volcano. However, a majority of the council felt Burton's offenses were serious enough to merit his removal for "conduct unbecoming of a Harvard student." Although we sympathize with Burton's recent personal and political troubles, the unfortunate fact is that he has acted in ways unbecoming of a council vice president. A single foolish decision that could have been easily remedied with a shamefaced apology snowballed into a serious question about Burton's willingness to admit wrongdoing and make the interests...
