...shanties are no longer a symbolic thing," said MIT sophomore Jon Garen, who was one of the eight students arrested. "They are having a real effect. They are actually changing students' opinions and becoming significant...

Genet has endowed Maurice with a characteristic movement repeated several times: "Maurice flicks his head as if tossing back from...
