...went back to City College in 1956, and is now working on his master's in public administration at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. He talks to his men as if they too were in the classroom. "You can't go out there with the idea that hippies are a problem," he lectures his men at roll call. "You can't stand there with a stolid countenance. Don't wait for them to break the ice. You have to initiate the communication...
Actually, a fight was indeed coming, and vast changes. Luce used his publications wholeheartedly to support the Allied cause (if TIME and LIFE failed to sell the U.S. on the idea of material aid, he cabled his editors from Europe shortly after Hitler invaded Belgium, "it probably won't matter much what these estimable publications say in years to come").

In the heavy stone city of Oran, he finds a refreshing boredom in the ordinary down-to-earth commercialism that appears as the setting for his later novel, The Plague. Among the flowers and ruins at Tipasa, Camus discovers that...
