...into a girl whom I might as well call Betsy, because that's her name. I was growing acclimated and she was on the brink of complete collapse. "You can't build a legitimate movement on coercion and violence," she said, or words to that effect. Betsy, allowed as how she was attending classes regularly for the first time she could remember, now, during the strike, to show that people other than fascists cared about such things as freedom of movement.

"Stop squeezing the life our of me" is unanswerable, and its effect ends when the excitement ends. This type of romanticism provides no plateaus where we can stop and rest. If it does not succeed entirely, it will have entirely failed; and the irate alumni will be right--we will have disrupted a great university to lengthen our spring vacation...
