...newspaper ad placed by Honeywell Inc. to attract computer technicians was a high-class bit of copy and featured drawings of those two great authors of Principia Mathematica, Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) and Bertrand Russell (1872-1967). The late Bertrand Russell? Hardly. At 96, he is very much alive at his home in Wales.

But I hope it is clear by now why most radicals find the repetition of the litany, "next time, you're really going to get it," a bit boring. Next time perhaps we really will catch holy heck, and maybe the Administration's version of educational vision will send us off to face our draft boards, the labor market, our parents, or a Mrs. Robinson a year and a half before our time. I worry about that every once in a while, but, honestly...
