...between Columbia's schizophrenic structure and the reasonable, though uninspired and often outdated men who attempted to manage it. Former President Grayson Kirk, for example, is viewed as an aloof, poorly informed man who rode around in a black Cadillac licensed GK-1. By contrast, S.D.S. Leader Mark Rudd shows a jungle instinct for the weakness of his elders; he emerges as a troublemaker, possibly useful as a goad in a good cause, but essentially a shortsighted opportunist...
Kahn, above all, wants to determine for his liberal satisfaction what "went wrong" at Columbia in the spring of 1968. His effort in that respect rarely transcends his fascination with Mark Rudd.

And for training the ear, there is a living-vernacular record: Rebellion and Repression, onetime S.D.S. President Tom Hayden's testimony before the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence and the House Un-American Activities Committee. At times the work is a near masterpiece in the invective of martyrdom...
