...feeling of student powerlessness before Harvard's "governing board of a few rich people," as Jay Epstein '69, a onetime member of the H-R Policy Committee who collaborated on its moderate anti-ROTC statement, put it recently. For many such discontented students, the unexpectedness and brutality of the Bust appeared to confirm radical contentions: students really were powerless. Real power remained in the hands of a corporate state which would use whatever force it needed to quell student demonstrations just as it used whatever force it needed in Indochina.

...students, most of them members of Students for a Democratic Society, had evicted U Hall's usual occupants the day before, to the dismay of most of Harvard's faculty and alumni and probably most of its students as well.

...valuable connections and their bank accounts, are constantly thwarting them in their appointed rounds. Gould and Blake are good, dogged street cops, and they know where the action is. They just can't get to it. So out of frustration and a certain embarrassment, they have to bust whoever is without influence, people they would probably just as soon leave alone-whores or some gays trying to have a good time in a bar. It is only when they swear vengeance on a porcine vice lord and pusher (Allen Garfield) that things really begin to come down on them...
