...solution to this unhappy dilemma is the formation of an undergraduate operated furniture exchange to buy furniture at a fair price from men leaving college and to sell it to new men as cheaply as possible.

Its semi-official character would enable it to negotiate with House janitors for storage space over periods when the stock of furniture exceeds the demand...

Trotsky's attempts to find differences in principle with Stalin, as his life of his enemy proves again, consistently left him in the dilemma of having to attack Stalin without attacking Communism and Russia. It also kept his Fourth International as little more than a form of political schizophrenia...
