When Dean Rusk delivered an unannounced address in the university auditorium, word spread like wildfire. Students by the hundreds came streaming across the grassy quadrangle. Their plan was to cut off his escape. I saw them running and found myself running alongside them, hopping over obstacles and low fences in a state of frenzied, ignorant excitement. Rusk, however, had an escape strategy. He successfully sneaked away to his limousine through a little used back exit.

Despite my being a US Army lieutenant colonel, and inclined, at that time, to support whatever the government was doing, my laboratory comrades never treated me disdainfully. I even organized two weekend outings, issuing instructions in the precise format of a military directive. The other post-doc students sometimes teasingly referred to me as 'ihe Colonel."

"Happenings" were springing up everywhere. The Warren Commission report was a major point of contention among the students. Most of them were skeptical. Professor John Kaplan and attorney Mark Lane, a dedicated detractor of the Commission's integrity, engaged in an exciting debate. (Kaplan was an enigmatic intellectual who later wrote a powerfully persuasive but ultimately futile book in favor of marijuana decriminalization.)

On the day of the debate, Kaplan brought all 23 huge volumes of the Commission Findings with him and stood them on a table between heavy bookends. Whenever Lane made a controversial statement, Kaplan dashed like Charlie Chaplin to the row of books, hauled out the exactly right volume and unerringly found the right page to read, theatrically denouncing Lane's claim.
