...three jump--a dreamlike scene of letting go--and discover a commune of becalmed, largely indistinguishable migrants much like themselves. Weeks go by without exhilaration or despair. The beach dwellers fish, steal a little marijuana from an illicit plantation and work on their tans. Eventually, perhaps because everyone has read Lord of the Flies, things fall apart nastily. But even this calamity, which involves blood and dead people (the pot growers lose patience), does not touch the survivors. They grab sandals and rucksacks and move on.

...actually came to a somewhat different conclusion. Although I will certainly look both ways before hanging posters up in illegal areas, there is something much more serious at stake in this tale. While the Science Center gates--and my friend--were being scrupulously observed in case of some illicit activity, people are being held up in front of Lamont library and attacked in the Cambridge Common in the middle of the day. Although I see nothing inherently wrong with the police officers enforcing Harvard's policy about proper decorum for postering, it appears as though guarding Harvard's bricks...
