...tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand people show up and they're angry, and scared, and feel used by the government, then the May 6 demo may be looked back on as the beginning of the end of nuclear power in the U.S. That end is already in sight, because no one is planning on building any new reactors. But the reactors now in use continue to turn out in their deadly radiation, and the cancers don't show up until long after the profits do. Besides, nuclear power is a world problem, and the peoples...
...Hall and then very neurotic and disturbed women in Interiors and Manhattan. That's the mark of an actress and not a movie star.

...suburban police to remove the demonstrators galvanized the vast majority of the University into horrified protest. The eviction of the demonstrators, in which 250 were arrested and 75 injured, prompted a mass meeting at Memorial Church that called the first three-day strike of classes on April 10. Two thousand students--including many "moderates," who the day before had helped demonstrate against the SDS takeover, holding signs saying "SDS does not represent Harvard" --voted overwhelmingly to shut the University down...
