...have made a great deal of progress in getting power and influencing how the university is run," he told the Stanford students. "But," Packard warned, "if you get in a confrontation, you'll lose all this and the university will lose too." As he left, one sit-in leader observed: "I don't believe it. There's a guy we've been cursing for twelve months, and when he shows up in person everyone sits in stunned silence."

I will say that it concerns a lot of people hassling over sex and money and that four of the film's five degenerates lose out in the end, and the fifth gets Inga, a success of dubious distinction to say the least...
