...analytical confusion among those Black students with ethnocentric identities is further revealed in the naive arguements by the quintet (and also by Christopher Farley and James Kearney--March 4) that the wider Harvard community is obligated to fund and sustain a Third World Center. Though the quintet and Alan Shaw disagree with me--owing perhaps to their low leadership expectations of Black students--I still consider it a pathetic and disorienting contradiction for Black students with ethnocentric identities to ask others (whites) to generate resources to sustain their parochial preferences...
...parity in average standard of living available in our affluent country. No doubt some contribution to the future leadership capacity of Black students is available through the kind of neighborhood-uplift activity that Seymour Society students do, and though the quintet of the Black Students Association (and Farley-Shaw-Kearney, too) aren't aware of it I helped to stimulate the founding of Harvard Seymour Society.

As if the local color of Imperial Russia and a weird group of invading performers were not enough, obscure allusions begin clamoring for attention. One of the star acts in Colonel Kearney's circus is "Lamarck's Educated Apes." This Monsieur Lamarck is a wife beater and a drunk; he also bears the name of the French naturalist whose theory of evolution through the transmission of acquired learning was overturned by Darwinism. So the new Lamarck's chimps get smart enough...
