...choose less domineering figures to make his entrance into historical fiction. McKay himself, the owner of the bees, was a contemporary of this crowd, though not of the same public stature, in fact, very little has been written about him: he made a fortune in shoe-manufacturing, and the Pusey Library archives hold a slim volume on the gigantic endowments he left to Harvard.

McMahon has given him depth, complicated his life, and intersected...

...serious changes. There need not be another strike if the administration is willing to respond to the voices of legitimate student protest. But students should not be afraid to act if the need arises. For those who see the need for real student protest are not, to borrow Pusey's contemptuous phrase, "Walter Mittys of the left." We are realists. And so after we look back and remember, we must also look to the present, and think hard about its realities...
