...Having participated in "The Thing in the Spring [April 26]" I am now absolutely certain that white people cannot hide a slum with a coat of paint-even if the suburbanites are the painters. The poor need low-cost housing-white America cannot paint that fact away...
...hard-driving Pomeranian who was a World War II Panzer of ficer.* Von Thadden manages to play skillfully on the self-pitying, nationalist feelings of many Germans. In Baden-Württemberg, a region known for its unemotional, middle-of-the-road politics, he conducted a restrained and low-key campaign. His biggest pitch was for law and order, an issue that has become as topical in West Germany as in the U.S. Speaking about student disorders, Von Thadden proposed a simple solution: Jail the troublemakers.

Another 150 hang around outside because the breaking glass was such a bad sound. They become the first "sundial people." Inside we rush up to Kirk's office and someone breaks the lock...
...police. This indicates that they fail to recognize what is clear to everyone else: the Administration has been thoroughly discredited. At the same time that the Faculty has been claiming they were "mediating" in good faith, they have made arrangements with the Administration to control "ingress and egress" from Low, supposedly in an attempt to limit the possibility of confrontation with the police. They have used the existence of the barricades they unilaterally set up as evidence of an implicit "agreement" between them and the Low demonstrators, an "agreement" they accuse Low demonstrators of violating whenever "nonrepresentative" persons enter...
