...Wednesday's events. Many of those who sat-in merely happened by the scene and found an immediate outlet for their suppressed anger over the war. In fact, many of those punished had never even considered civil disobedience until they were confronted with an easy opportunity--and hard moral choice--after Wednesday's 11 o'clock class...

His moral and geographic position in life hint at great tragedy and I could not resist suggesting a fury, an activity, a motion that does not exist. Anyway he was half waiting for them to come from America to seize him, to break him dead or force him back to America. Sometimes he said he was a citizen of the world, free, not speaking English. But he was waiting for them all the same. Whatever...
