...S.D.S. headquarters on the top floor of Emerson Hall was a little like that at one of Fidel Castro's Committees for the Defense of the Revolution in Havana. Emerson buzzed with frenetic activity, the intense conversations punctuated by the thunk, thunk, thunk of two hard-working-mimeograph machines.
