I refrain, from asking just what chortling in high glee over the delightful ironies of current economic phenomena will do for those fifteen millions. I refrain from asking how a breadline in Union Square or a jovial clash between striking longshoremen and machine-gunning militiamen on San Francisco docks will provide "What America needs." I do not think you should be expected to be able to supply answers to those question, because, after all, you are merely attending a university, and "A university is an institution...
