...wisdom of Meeks and Weil only recently seems patent. The remarkable fact is not that prisons proved to be uncongenial places for moral improvement, but that it took so long for the U.S. to recognize and confess the folly. The outlook always should have been grim. Riots have beset American prisons from the beginning. But those manifest failures along the way were only specifically disappointing, not generally disillusioning. A spasm of violence at a particular prison, epidemic madness at another, each was explained away as a technical error: the cellblock configuration was wrong, the recreation policy too lenient...

Fumed Jeno's crusty founder, Jeno Paulucci, 63, as the pizza war dragged...
...right if I only get to law school and study under Archibald Cox....When SASC [Southern Africa Solidarity Committee] gets its literature thrown out in the middle of the night by Epps' assistant and then he comes back and claims that it was all a mistake, that is as patent a lie as there could possibly be. People in SASC, people reading The Indy and The Crimson get a glimmering of the realities beneath the facade. Part of what radicalism is about is breaking the illusions that Harvard creates and creates very well...
