...contrast to Terrell is Harvard's number two man, Fritz Hobbs. "Hobbs has a distinctive style all his own," Barnaby said. The former Olympic crew member "gets on top of his opponent and pummels him." Barnaby said. "He's a big son-of-a-gun, and he just hits hard and pushes right at his opponents. It's like expecting a snowstorm and suddenly getting hit by an avalanche...
...such less than breathtaking lyrics as "If mountains should crumble into the sea/ There would still be you and me," and "Inspiration is what you are to me." But the inspiration is unfortunately bathetic, and the sanguine ending is a bit too Panglossian.

And all this was in contrast to the up-tightness and lack of humanity shown by the government and police. The point is, we showed the government up for what it is by not falling for its tactics or being drawn into its game of violence, but rather by showing that men can work together without coercion, and there is an alternative to violence. Lenin thought that you could...
