...major CCAS meeting on Saturday night, MIT Linguistics professor Noam Chomsky called the conference a reflection of the "much-too-long-delayed questioning of American society" within the professions. Linking it to the March M.I.T. work stoppage (whose slogan was "March 4 is a movement, not a day"), he urged other professional groups to follow the example of the CCAS. Harvard graduate student Jim Peck, one of the prime movers of the CCAS conference, says, "CCAS is a movement, not a committee...
HERMANN HESSE -- The Nobel Prize - winning German novelist, whose book, The Journey to the East, is an excellent metaphor for the kind of revelation-seeking an acid trip entails.

SDS must take its role of organizing...
Free Will, it can be seen, is a concept whose existence depends on an individual's not knowing what "the future" will be like. (For Tralfamadorians, the future can be defined as those moments whose determining conditions are taking shape in the moment presently being visited. We say the future comes "after" now.) If we can understand time to be an entity that always exists in its entirety, then the irritating concept of free will dissolves into pleasant nothingness...
