...tell you that he has no ambitions to be a "political guerrilla." He has always operated on the margins, keeping the government on its toes. "I couldn't think of myself as a politician sitting at endless sessions," Oz says in his soft-spoken manner. As a self-proclaimed idealist, he has rarely if ever had to face the realities of political responsibility...
...brings forth the contradiction interest in the Revolution. Robespierre stresses Egalite, Danton prefers Liberie; Robespierre will use any means to meet his goals, Danton will practically reject the revolution if he can secure passes and prosperity for the common man. Happily, Wajda refuses to interpret Robespierre's section Glacial idealist or self serving demagogue, Wajda won't say.

The new collection closely resembles the herd obtained on the Castigator's last foray, against the medical profession (Arrowsmith, 1925) and a parallel course is run, from upcreek tabernacles, through a hayseed college and seminary to a big-city...
...call on others who have been harassed to contact us so that we may add to our forthcoming compilation of examples of political harassment. There will be a rapid escalation of exposure of the Harvard Administration in the coming months. Only in this way--not by the old idealist arguments for free speech--will revolutionary and progressive groups be relieved of a pattern of political repression. Henry C. Park '84 RADACADS spokesperson
