...considers that the six term-time paper assignments in Social Sciences 2 are "the most important pedagogical device in my course." His section men, Michael Tanzer and Norman Pollack agree, stressing the improvement over the course of the term of their students' ability to present a coherent argument, to marshal facts to support it, to organize effectively, and to express themselves clearly. Reuben Brower assigns four or five papers in his English 162, as does Robert P. Wolff in Social Sciences 140. Richard Poirier, in his courses on American and English litera- ture, is another who gives frequent paper assignments...
Before dawn, the tanks clanked into position in Rio. Censors took over the press, cables, radio and TV. Those who protested too loudly were summarily arrested. On the evening of the first day, retired Field Marshal Henrique Teixeira Lott, who ran unsuccessfully for President last year with Goulart as his running mate, telephoned War Minister Denys and demanded that he obey the constitution.

The rules required, he said, that documents be shown only to Russians. "These buses are going through in 30 minutes," declared U.S. Provost Marshal Colonel Robert Sabolyk. "If they are held up, we know what to do about it." When the half-hour was up, no Russian was in sight. Grimly, the bus drivers started their engines and began their tour of East Berlin. This time, the East German guards made not a move...
