...beginning of the Fall term, a group of students reeled out of the Brattle after seeing La Chinoise and headed for the Cafe Pamplona, where they held one of the first planning sessions for the spurious Anarchy Designs or, as it is now known, H-R X. It was at this meeting that one of X's founders, a man who has since fled to New York to escape cultural persecution, formulated a basic X goal: to be misunderstood by the Press. Therefore, I would personally like to thank the CRIMSON for printing John G. Short's splendid melange...
...fiesta exploded .,. . It kept up day and night for seven days. The dancing kept up, the drinking kept up, the noise went on." Thus, in 1926 in The Sun Also Rises, did a young Ernest Hemingway describe the Feria de San Fermin, the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.

...first time since 1955, no Australian made the finals, which is roughly like no Spaniard fighting at Pamplona. Australia's brawny Tony Roche, the No. 2 seed, shared Emerson's luck. He had twisted his ankle badly in an earlier match and went down in the quarterfinals. For a time, it seemed as if it might even be a U.S. year. Seeded No. 6, California's temperamental Dennis Ralston kept his emotions in check through five sets against South Africa's Cliff Drysdale in the semifinals to pull...
