Republican Congressman William Steiger returned from a tour of universities to report last week: "Vast numbers of bright, dedicated, sincere students are just as deeply disturbed as the so-called revolutionaries. The difference is that they have not yet rejected completely the view that they should not resort to violence...
...been no forcible seizure of the building, there would not have been any reason to call the police; had this seizure not been accompanied by intolerable acts of force and violence, the idea that an early call was necessary would not have arisen in the minds of some. The resort to the police, while it may have momentarily erased in the minds of many the responsibility of those who had seized the building, does not in fact excuse them...
...outsiders find rather cloying. Temp is "Ole Simon," as in Simon Legree; Nancy is "Den Mother"; Joe Raff is "Tío Pepe"); Judy is "Kid Chocolate"; and Bone, naturally, is "Billy Bones."

That is the case even without backlash from the outside, which if course aggravates the situation. To put the point offensively, serious and sustained intellectual work is incompatible with too militant a search for immediate social justice. So much the worse for the universities, some might say. Since, in the real world, efforts by militant moral vanguards to impose a new moral code on an unwilling population have generally led to massive cruelty, there are stronger grounds than mere academic self...
