...order to explain the seizure of University Hall, we must turn our attention to that group of students within the SDS which had developed a very definite image of the world. This image contained certain well defined components. To these students Harvard University is an integral part of a thoroughly repressive social system. Not only does it service this system with all its experts and elite cadres, but its ruling elements are themselves part of an imperialist ruling class bent on exploiting the entire world.

Shannon himself hopes to continue to teach at St. John's College through the summer. If and when the Pope accepts Shannon's resignation as Auxiliary Bishop...
...presented the issues, that's why. If the average American--Well, 'average' is a bad word--if most Americans knew how it really felt to live in a ghetto, they would want to do something about it." Whether or not this qualifies as misguided liberal optimism, it probably does explain why Gilligan has kept on trying in Ohio politics...
