• THE Dartmouth Review v. Dartmouth Coll., 889 F.2d 13 (1st Cir. 1989)
  …on the one hand, against the repeated demands by our and other courts that there be more than conclusory allegations, even in civil rights eases. Dewey v.

University of New Hampshire, 694 F. 2d 1, 3 (1st Cir.1982) (in civil rights action, pleader required to assert more "than conclusions or subjective characterizations”), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 944, 103 S.Ct. 2121, 77 L.Ed.2d 1301 (1983).
