...Teach-Ins were valuable in two respects. They promoted a sense of empowerment that extends beyond any individual issue, and encouraged people to take control of all aspects of their lives. They also addressed a wide set of issues, and in doing so helped to cast off the myopic haze which too often surrounds Harvard students. For one week, we were challenged to consider the plight not only of comfortable Ivy Leaguers, but also of oppressed students in Kosovo, Zapatistas in Chiapas, or low-skill workers...
Even if I'd known how to write serious fiction, a comic novel would have been the natural form for me to use in recalling that era. Looking back, it seemed so entertaining--all those people in that two-floor hothouse.

The mid-term elections? In the bag. With Clinton in office, his critics agree, by the year 2000, the face of the Democratic Party will still be blushing...
...Independent lent us its even more primitive type-setting facilities; all evening long, a steady stream of first-year compers shuttled typescript and galleys through the snows between Plympton Street and the Freshman Union. Down in the shop, we put together the paper in a frantic, beer-fueled haze. Around 5 a.m., the dread moment finally arrived--when, in the absence of pressman Lew Brooks, we would have to wrestle with The Crimson's hulking offset press by ourselves...
