...than $50. I have an irrational expectation that somehow by making numerous visits to the Coop, the grand total of the cost of my books will be less than the cost if I'd just bought them all at one fell swoop. Needless to say my technique is neither wise nor efficient and my only release is to complain bitterly. How dare they charge me $190 for a sourcebook--a pile of Xeroxes stapled together?

Says Secret Service agent Robert Weaver: "The criminal can become a needle in a haystack electronically...
...very wise woman once told me that if you can identify one ideology and travel with it across battlefields which fight against it in the course of your life and still maintain that same belief even though it has been challenged to the very root, even though you oscillated here and there, then that belief is yours for life. Such an experience it has been for me at Harvard, and this personal growth to me is just as valuable as any social change that may have occurred in my time here as well...
