There were so many more, Steppenwolf and Jose Feliciano, Joni Mitchell's tart beauty, and the Charles Lloyd Quartet's tingling and dignified rhapsodies, but one special word about Procul Harum. They played two flawless sets on successive nights in front of the maedow. I remember them illuminated by the silvery-pink lights of the light show in the dark heat of the night crashing out their rapturous blend of music. Gary Brooker's expansively soulful singing, Robin Trower's eerie guitar, B. J. Wilson's deftly brilliant drumming, Fisher's streaking organ, and above it all the presence...
...entirely clear why the Faculty should ever want to close a portion of a meeting. The idea certainly cannot be to keep what transpires a secret, for word-of-mouth and the CRIMSON's artificial reconstruction of the meeting with Dean Ford's help make the goings-on more or less public property.

For generations, British colonizers told their subjects in an empire that in those days of glory stretched around the world that they, too, were British citizens. Taking Britain at its word, a continuing stream of immigrants, mainly Indians and Pakistanis from Asia and Negroes from the West Indies and Africa, in recent years have sought jobs and new homes in Britain. Though they constitute only 2% of the population, their tendency to huddle together has created pockets, often ghettos, of nonwhite residents in London...
