...allegedly progressive and committed--he even had long hair--but he vehemently eschewed nasty things like demonstrations and building occupations. By comforting worried old professors, he assured himself of future contacts and undoubtedly made a lot of money. During the 1970 nationwide student strike over Cambodia and Kent State, for example, this model socialist travelled to Chicago, where he wrote a couple of articles for the conservative Chicago Tribune that complimented some local colleges for not succumbing to the reigning madness...
REMEMBER CAMBODIA? Kent State and Jackson State? May of 1970 when America's college students decided they had had it, and went on strike for an end to the war and domestic in justices? What did you do that spring? Canvass in Charlestown? Skip exams and play tennis? Go home early? I wrote impassioned stories about the Harvard employe strike for The Crimson.

We thought students had attained a position of strength and influence; in another time and place, perhaps that would have been true...
...interview given to England's New Musical Express stresses Alice's offstage normaley. Nick Kent, the interviewer, remarks on the apparent paradox between the Alice Cooper image and the man.

Bond also resurrects the often-forgotten point that school busing is "an old practice in virtually each of the fifty states." On ecology: "Picking up beer cans from the highway is touted...
...stolid cops in riot gear wielding nightsticks and absorbing epithets. Right on cue a miasma of tear gas blanketed the tableau, screams pierced the air and the players scattered. When the smoke cleared, however, the scene was not another Berkeley or Harvard, but was somewhat more reminiscent of Kent State or Jackson State. Lying dead on the ground were two 20-year-old black students, Denver A. Smith of New Roads, La., and Leonard D. Brown of Gilbert...
