This lack of White House support has undoubtedly helped to slow the progress of strong anti-university bills, but it might not have been as effective were it not for the fact that college administrators themselves--in their testimony before Congress as well as in their actions this spring--have been trying to assure Congress that colleges have no intention of allowing disruptions of their operations...
...blue, museums and their breezeless corridors are forgotten. Looking at paintings might be allotted to a day of rain, or to a Sunday stroll if you can not find a ride to the sea. On a summer weekday, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts is silent. Girls in white pinafores stare from the spacious brown canvas by John Singer Sargent across an empty room to the portraits on the opposite wall.

...take the revolutionaries seriously. So they took us seriously when we were only dealing with symbols.

Then they were clapped into small cells in the cacophonous main cellblock. Prison officials laid on the full treatment, later declared one white-haired judge to be suffering from "suicidal tendencies" and sent him to an isolation cell. There he was protectively stripped of his belt, shoes, glasses and pen, and was made to eat his dinner of ham and black-eyed peas from a paper plate with a plastic spoon...
