During the student occupation in April 1968, he made the scene at Columbia. In fact he boosted himself through a window into President Kirk's office, though he declined the insurgents' invitation to smoke a presidential cigar (a "sign that I was not taking their side"). A month later, Spender was roaming Paris, listening to another Polonius of the Old Left, Jean...
