...ID. Polaroid is anything but a conventional corporate giant. It has no long-term debt, because Land is convinced that he should be "financially conservative and technologically audacious." In Cambridge, the company seems to feed on the intellectual and technological ferment of neighboring Harvard and M.I.T.-where Land occasionally teaches courses in specialized sciences-and sometimes on social ferment as well. Soon after the Kent State killings in 1970, Polaroid employees were invited to send any message of their choosing to President Nixon at company expense; some 2,200 did so.

Outside handles would be removed from all doors save the main one, to deter students who had been suspended or expelled from coming back in and roaming the halls. Every student would have an ID card. Since fights often break out in cafeterias, the panel suggested that schools substitute plastic garbage bags for the metal cans that are now turned into missiles...
