...best, truest friend." It is not that boys are not fond of horses. The last thing Victor Esch Jr., 10, does before he goes to bed in Potomac, Md., is shine a spotlight out of the window to be sure his pony Misty is all right. But girls are more lavish with their affection. "He's my best, truest friend," says Mary Jay Harrigan, 8, who spends her afternoons after school in Colebrook, N.H., riding her 21-year-old chestnut gelding Ahab the Arab. When Sue Ann Meyer returned home from camp to her parents in Lincoln, Mass...

I am to let no-one in as we now have a population of 150 and we want a stable commune--no tourists. We even consider a Stalinist purge to reduce the mouths to feed.

In answer...
...through the window like Batman climbs Professor Orest Ranum, liberal, his academic robes billowing in the wind. We laugh at his appearance. He tells us that our action will precipitate a massive right wing reaction in the faculty. He confides that the faculty had been nudging Kirk toward resignation, but now we've blown everything; the faculty will flock to support the president. We'll all be arrested, he says, and we'll all be expelled. He urges us to leave. We say no. One of us points out that Sorel said only violent action changes things. Ranum says that...
