...origin of this spirit may be the lack of financial backing for the lacrosse team. This may sound silly, but when the team can not even afford to have a small banquet at the season's end, it's hard to overcome the feeling that the sport is strictly minor league. More crucial is the fact that funds are necessary to hire another coach or two to help Munro. It is simply impossible for one coach to handle a team of almost 30 players during practice. Two volunteers with considerable ability came down when they could to help, but there...
...good young revolutionary author is the same sort of person. But this strategy is one which Kunen only flirts with. The pose of spokesman for the militant young does not come naturally to him, and the preform statements of serious revolutionary purpose at the book's beginning and end (and a couple points in between) are without question Kunen's most strained and unconvincing writing.

...handshakes with good-natured (oh yes) ribbing about long hair and campus activism you realized the only way to survive was to get hopelessly drunk. And so, mellow and impish, you explained to your maiden aunt that it would be great to do away with marriage because it would end all discusson about pre-marital sex, and that it would be even greater to do away with the family because that would end occasional family get-togethers...
