Fernandez does not consider himself a traitor to his fellow students, but he does recognize that many undergraduates did. "There were comments made as I walked out of the hearings. They called me pig, said that I was selling out to the establishment." Others questioned what he, of all people--"a minority with a very poor background"--was doing in the CRR meeting room on the penthouse floor of Holyoke Center, "sitting around with all these white gentlemen...
...Yardling, Oberg, a three time Connecticut State High School wrestling champion, decided to devote himself to rugby. "It offers a different outlook on sport," he said.

Sly, pig-stupid and stuffed with moral rectitude, this rural trio looks like a brutal parody of Grant Wood's American Gothic (in fact, it was painted ten years earlier). Scholz took care to spread his political insult as far as pos sible; Weimar inflation is symbolized by the cretinous child, snot-nosed and snaggletoothed...
