...inscrutable face that a complex society presents to its young makes them vulnerable to simplistic explanations of it. To them, as to 19th century anarchists, individual man appears good and society appears corrupt. "I am a human being. Do not bend, fold or mutilate," was the slogan raised on the Berkeley campus in 1964 and repeated many times since. The computer, symbol of advancing technology, has resurrected all the old Luddite animosity toward the machine. The French student rioters of a year ago burned with the old anarchist passion against "society"-the passion that Marxism is designed to harness...
...past-all the 19th century symptoms seem to be returning. Perhaps tomorrow will see men longing for the rigidities of the industrial century, as previous generations clung to the stabilities of their rural past. Extreme alienation from tomorrow's more complex society may well provoke the anarchist syndrome...
There were always a small percentage of persons bent on destroying society, and on fomenting a revolution. In previous generations they were the Wobbles, later there were the campus communists.

King Alfonso was a known philanderer and, after going into exile, she and her husband lived apart. Only once did Queen...
...ministers of information of H-R X (the anarchist group) were chosen at random from the student directory. The ministers of information are the only positions of power in X; their names are listed in the dean's office just before "Young Dems" and right after "Whiffenpoofs." H-R X is official; that is to say, it exists. . . . For example, it can hold meetings in a Harvard building, and even post ("dated") notices on Harvard bulletin boards. Rogers Albritton, professor in Philosophy, Samuel Beer, professor in Government, and Robert Lowell, Ralph Waldo Emerson Lecturer in English Literature, are the faculty...
