Think of him and Erich Segal and good of Charley Reich tossing flowers at each other in the Pierson College dining hall as Kingman Brewster broadcasts the Fugs out of his office window. Think of jean-and-work shirt-bedecked Yalies pouring out of Skull and Bones to spend their GM dividend checks on grass and anti-war ads in the New York Times. And win this one for Consciousness...
