...twenty or thirty University of Hartford students had come together in the lounge. After all the hours of suspicious glances across some imaginary barrier, a heated argument broke out between a YAF staffer and a U. of H. student, and the invisible shield finally shattered. The argument drew a huddle of supporters behind each of the protagonists, who stood face to face at one end of the lounge.

Then the missiles either burn up or are so deformed that they veer off course. U.S. officials say that no heat shield now in existence could survive the fiery ride through an asphalt cloud...

A black foreground represents the face of black culture. At the center are crossed spears and shield, meaning "violence if necessary," surrounded by a wreath, symbolizing "peace if possible."
