In the U.S., the movement has spread from the traditionally active, alert and demonstrative student bodies...
...reporting that traces back to Thucydides, the ancient historian whose account of the Peloponnesian War is depressingly relevant today. Thucydides was no polemicist either, but his message was clear: the exercise of power, however necessary it may seem, can lead a city-state-or a nation-into unforeseen danger...
