...also came to Washington because I had read Mailer-yes, we all had read Mailer-Mailer's existential yap and yaw.

I could recapture what I missed by missing the Pentagon battle...
This absurdity served its cathartic purpose, but Cox sees that it is time to put the therapy to bed. Man just isn't made to face ultimate absurdity-paradox, yes. Absurdity?

But the CRIMSON, in yesterday's article, typified that subtle kind of racism which permits it to use a black person, namely me, to carry the weight of a protest staged by a white organization which presumes to speak for black workers. In your next issue, why don't you run a photo of the 70-odd whites at Tuesday's conference who carry bonfire SDS membership cards...
