...some good insights. At the 1967 convention in Ann Arbor, Gregg Calvert and Carl Davidson proposed their theory of a "New Working Class." They contended that Capitalism had changed in many ways from Marx's day. In the modern industrial system technocrats were far more essential in the industrial process than unskilled workers (an ever diminishing percentage of the work force). These college trained workers could form the basis for a revolutionary movement (shades of Thorstein Veblin). The only problem with the NWC, as its critics pointed out, was that its members were better rewarded and more loyal...
Outraged, Pakistan's President Yahya Khan retreated to his white guest villa and boycotted the meeting, refusing even to answer the telephone. Only after formal assurance that India would stay away did Yahya finally rejoin the conference. In the process, he forced Hassan to begin his lavish farewell dinner nearly four hours late...

So the kids, stereotypes to a man (one militant black, one racist white Southerner, one rebellious daughter of a Senator) have to create their own world in a sort of college-age Lord of the Flies.

Multifaceted scientist who embraced the disciplines of philosophy, psychiatry and physiology, McCulloch dedicated his life to explaining the workings of the brain and nervous system, especially the thought-storing process, in terms of physical mechanisms. In 1943 he and the late Walter Pitts theorized that the brain could be described as a computing machine, operating on a mathematically logical basis, and that these principles could also be used in computers-a concept that paved the way for great advances in computer technology...
...more directly, but, then again, one would suspect these are hard days for art with politics so prevalent. O'Neill suggests that if we give up our pipe dreams only death remains. I'm not sure how you translate that into political terms. But I'm sure the process has begun...
