...high and the crowds so thick, the total absence of violence up until Saturday bordered on the miraculous -- a testament to the skill of the demonstration's young organizers. "This was not an explosion from nowhere. This had been building for a long time," explains David Zweig, an assistant professor of government at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Even so, he adds, "it is remarkable how unviolent it has been...
Much of the trauma comes from the fact that the benefits are rarely spread equitably. "There's a widespread feeling that Chinese society has become unjust," says Stanley Rosen, professor of sociology at the University of Southern California.

Bourgeois aspirations are not a factor in Black Greek affiliation. However, a major factor in the resurgence of Black Greeks at Harvard is the failure...
...time proselytizing would mean one less Black child that we got off the streets and into a tutoring program: one less donation for our annual scholarship; one less thing we could do for our community. It is not that we have anything against intellectualizing the problems of today, as Professor Kilson has done for many years. But words on a page do no good if, as the professor stated, Black students cannot read them...
