...dream team. But when the time came to consider the thorny issue of defense policy, unity quickly yielded to familiar acrimony. Backed by Kinnock, the party's National Executive Committee had crafted a compromise proposal designed to be acceptable to both left and right. Instead, in a wave of emotion, the cheering delegates reaffirmed Labor's commitment to unilateral nuclear disarmament...
...what they assumed was a desert climate. Nonsense, replied the boosters, Southern California is moderation itself. And to prove it, they set out thermometers during the first part of August 1931, on the dates on which the competition would be held a year later.

It would also be dangerous for it to assume from the silence so far this year that student activism is on the wane. Already 1Ls and 2Ls are experiencing the contradictions and hypocrisies in the pronouncements and actions of the Harvard Law School Administration. They are learning rapidly. The Law School still has time. We are watching and waiting. Ibrahm Gassama, Third World Coalition Muhammad Kenyatta, president, 1982-83 Harvard BLSA Tony Thompson, President...
