...knew this better than "inactive" Candidate Averell Harriman and his politically wise advisers, including Tammany Hall Sachem Carmine De Sapio, and this week they made the most of it.

Because such a student congress would rival the S.E.U., the proposal drew Falange fire; but University Rector Dr. Pedro Laín Entralgo thought it wise to allow the students to blow off steam, agreed to free elections, class by class, in the downtown law school. Last fortnight first-year law students, voting for 20 congress delegates, elected only one man from a full slate of candidates put up by the S.E.U. Two days later the second...
