...HARVARD Yard was a mosaic of confused activity as the university moved into its second week of crisis. The throb of rock bands echoed from the old walls, sometimes drowning out the rhythmic chants of black militants, often punctuated by the harsh rasp of bullhorns blaring out strike messages. The walled yard had the air of an ancient red brick city under siege. White sheets emblazoned with STRIKE in bold red letters hung from the windows of freshman dormitories and classroom buildings.
