...year began with a violent attack by the Weathermen on the CFIA. On September 25 a group of about 25 persons, none of them Harvard students, invaded the Center, roughed up staff members and employees, and fled after fifteen minutes. Because the attack came so early in the year many people were uncertain about just who the Weathermen were and how strong they were. University officials braced for a violent year. The Weathermen, of course, are a tiny splinter group of SDS and have not reappeared at Harvard since the CFIA action. But the issue of CFIA remains...

"I got the story because I can run like a scared antelope when I have to," he says. "I ran five miles with those kids that night, and I kept up with them." After the running, he really had to pour on the steam, banging out some ten pages against a deadline only 40 minutes away, finishing so close to it that he did not even have a chance to read the story over...
