...have here a simple misunderstanding and some understandably tired representatives--not a 35-to-26 trial vote concerning "Harvard's financial ties to the South African government."

He finally pulls himself together, and his new sense of hope brings him back enough sanity to try an escape one more time. He succeeds, of course, and the sensation produced by the concluding five minutes of Midnight Express is one you shall not receive from a movie...
