...Chicagoan, I am ashamed of the brutality perpetrated by Mayor Daley and the zoo he calls "the finest police force in the world." Having spent three nights on Michigan Avenue observing the occupation of "Prague West," I find absurd Daley's charge that news coverage of the conflict was one-sided. King Richard was fortunate that the TV cameras could not see everything. One night, a cop overtook a young girl fleeing from tear gas. Grabbing her by the hair, he hit her across the face with his nightstick, ripped off her blouse, ripped off her bra. After clubbing...
...most ironic fate of all befell Brillo-bearded Jerry Rubin, 30, a former Berkeley free-speecher and now a yippie leader. To protect himself from police strong-arm tactics, Rubin hired a husky, sledge-fisted Chicagoan known as "Big Bob Lavin," whose beard and bellicosity were matched by his ability at bottle-throwing in confrontations with the cops.

Died. Bertha Spafford Vester, 90, Jerusalem's Florence Nightingale, who cared for thousands of Christians, Moslems and Jews under four flags (Turkish, British, Jordanian and Israeli); in Jerusalem.

Winner of the McLaughlin Trophy, given annually to the most valuable member of the freshman track team, the 6' 1" 215 1b. Chicagoan definitely has his own style. At most of the indoor meets last season, he would get up for his first throw and just fling the "thing" without the customary double twirl. Then with the event won, he spent his last two tries practicing the regular...
...civil rights. Doar will become president of an ambitious self-help project supported jointly by Government and private funds in Brooklyn's crime-ridden, abjectly poor Bedford-Stuyvesant section. His replacement at the Civil Rights Division will be Stephen J. Pollak, 39, a Dartmouth-and Yale-educated Chicagoan who has served as an assistant to the Solicitor General, legal counsel to the President's task force on the war against poverty and, for two years, as Dear's assistant...
