...strike myself, having been taught at an early age never to cross a picket line and the lesson having struck. I wondered for a spell whether a New York City teacher ought to adhere to this rule, but then sat back and proceeded to enjoy the prospect of not attending classes--in contrast to Harvard-per-usual, where I failed to attend them but got depressed about it.
