...without a tinge of sympathy, not out of contempt for their favorite musicians but for the grubby intermediary that skims around 85 percent off each record sale. But now their desperation has begotten tactics far more deplorable than simple grousing and token settlements: abject fabrication and large-scale punitive litigation. Marks’ allegation about roaming bands of hungry musicians is not only prevarication, it’s revisionism; if anything is impeding “working class musicians,” it’s the avarice of the men in the same boardroom where Steven gets his morning...

Since our impact on a larger, national scale is minimal, I’d like to believe that all of our campus activists haven’t become afflicted with the now-common inflated sense of self. And despite the problems, our campus also has some examples of provocative, but effective, campaigning...
