...country's attitude, and especially the attitude of Congress, has been completely negative toward this demonstration, even before the Rev. Abernathy presents his requests. An avalanche of legislation is needed and it will only begin to right the wrongs to the poor people of this country. But my fellow Americans, following in the footsteps of an unsympathetic and misguided Congress, are trying to erase the problems of our nation with thousands of riot-control troops...
...Monday, the sixth day of the demonstration, it was obvious that the demonstrators had failed to arouse a new "consciousness" in their fellow students. Their cause was lost unless they could pull something out of their collective hat at the last minute. The administration sensed the student support for its position, and was willing to use force to regain law and order. The administration had hesitated for so long because given the highly unorthodox situation of the occupied buildings, the demonstrators had the advantage, on a small scale, that the administration had on the larger one.

Mailer evokes some marvelously mordant closeups of his fellow "weekend revolutionaries" as they try to do their ritualistic protest thing quickly, so that they can get back to New York for a dinner party. "Lowell's shoulders had a slump," writes Mailer. "One did not achieve the languid grandeurs of that slouch in one generation-the grandsons of the first sons had best go through the best troughs in the best eating clubs at Harvard before anyone in the family could try for such elegant note." Ideologue Paul Goodman "looked like the sort of old con who had first...
...about Europe half a dozen men, unacquainted with one another, were lighting the fuse of the post-Victorian revolution-Einstein, Freud, Lenin, Joyce, Picasso, Stravinsky. But they didn't matter at all. For in Cambridge, England, 24-year-old Lytton Strachey was loudly proclaiming that he and his fellow members of the Apostles, a small society of intellectuals, were about to inherit the earth. They never quite made it, but in their later guise as the Bloomsbury Group-Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, Virginia Woolf, Clive Bell among others-they did become the most powerful extra-Establishment...
...that Brattle Square, and perhaps most of the corner we occupy in south-west Cambridge, are located smack in the heart of what science-fiction writers used lovingly to term a "time warp." Four years of this town, of predictable variety and commonplace brilliance, can do that to a fellow. Places, and the people who choose to hold them, can distort perception; can modify and magnify, enrich and cheapen, help and hurt. Cambridge does things to events and phenomena, and it takes no poet's sensibility to realize the fact. But last night, one could feel more comfortable...
