...swirl of red flags, black anarchist flags, Cuban flags and Viet Cong flags, nonstop political talk-ins began in the Sorbonne's quadrangle. More or less revolutionary graffiti soon appeared on the sandstone walls: DON'T LOOK BACK NOW, GOD, BUT THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING BEHIND YOU! THE MORE I MAKE REVOLUTION THE MORE I WANT TO MAKE LOVE! Shaken and scared, the university called in the police, and in the bloody fighting that followed, the students gained their rallying cause?and the overnight sympathy of much of France.

That’s a real shame, since huge improvements to freshman advising aren’t just attainable, they would be remarkably simple...

In “Heart in a Cage,” leather-jacketed singer Julian Casablancas rolls on the gritty surface of the city streets while anonymous figures and rushing legs swirl past him. Face rubbing against asphalt, teeth clenched, he mumbles, “I’m stuck in a city but I belong in a field.” Cut to shots of wind-blown Albert Hammond Jr., alone, twiddling his Stratocaster miserably in front of a panoramic cityscape...
