Vartan has also unwisely included some love affairs and a subplot about Milliken's revenge on the ex-basketball player who stole his first girl. Alas...
...investment question. They can now best continue the struggle by abandoning the building--or else risk diverting: campus debate to subsidiary issues like administration response and amnesty. No one can reasonably expect that a prolonged takeover will force Bok's crisis handlers to return to the Corporation for a recount. Despite its short-term attractiveness, a game of chicken between the protestors and the Administration is a deadend...
