Lastly, The Crimson's excuse that the choice of two Black men for a picture to accompany an article on prisons was a "mistake" was unacceptable.

No teacher could spoonfeed Darkness Visible to eager sixth and seventh graders the way he might have Lord Of The Flies. For example, the Miltonic overtones, from the title's derivation in Paradise Lost to the satanic qualities that possess so many...
