...time in an interview which lasted an hour and a half did I say or suggest that opposition to ROTC at Harvard was confined to Maoists.

As he stomps along, he passes a German ex-soldier who volubly outlines the battle to his wife. Booming away, the men pass like bateaux mouches gliding over an ancient shipwreck...
