...mass meeting itself was sharply divided. A large but unorganized group of moderates had come to the meeting: they were willing to accept a strike, but wanted political action during the strike directed outward- toward ending the war-rather than inward against the University. The moderates noisily applauded Dean May when he gave a brief announcement, and remained conspicuously seated when the rest of the crowd gave Panther leader Doug Miranda a standing ovation. In the end, however, they lost the crucial vote of the evening, as the meeting approved, 1770-900 a demand calling on the University to immediately...
EACH PLAY has a symbol of illusory release-the seagull, Moscow, the cherry orchard-which, rather than liberating energies, mercilessly turns them inward, thrusts them down, exhausts hope into depression.

Black separatists are indeed taking that route (see box, page 14), although the vast majority of blacks prefer to join whites now in those better white schools. The separatist path also has its illusions. Money still matters in education, and it still seems to follow whitey. In the long run, polarization may prove more destructive to race relations than the current incidence of friction...
