...Frigidaire, the car. Life for a Frigidaire? This is the life our parents want us to live. For us, the only value is man, the only thing that matters is man." Sociologist Alain Touraine, 42, agrees that France "has become a society of things, not of ideas. The students reject not only the things but the authorities who direct that society-they do not believe in institutions like the university...
...urging stockholders to reject Loew's bid, Commercial Credit argued that the theater-and-hotel operator, besides being a far smaller company, was in fields incompatible with its own.

Rejection on such grounds can be challenged in a county court...

The social injustice, the reaction in rioting that they see around them makes them reject the customary liberal belief that institutions already exist that can relieve the inequities. They have been around too long. Keniston writes...
