...nights, sleep safely in Central Park; when citizens of all cities regarded it as a right to be able to walk the streets of an evening; when air travelers were not searched for weapons; when the safety of the great, and even the generality, did not shakily depend on bodyguards, armed janitors, closed-circuit television...
...happily with the minimum of punitive sanctions. It took a long time to discover that democratic government was, if not perfect, the system of rule that best balanced the claim of the citizen to be free and happy and the need for the state to maintain order. Essentially, democracy depends not on law and the law-enforcing arm of the state but on the willingness of citizens to accept an unwritten contract, a contract between the rational and the atavistic in themselves. When democratic order has to depend on police repression of the antisocial aggressive, then democracy itself is impaired...
...institution--a course it seems determined to follow and not without good reason. For example, Wolfman says that if Harvard and Radcliffe applied together for work-study money then they could equalize the funding for men and women, but Radcliffe would lose over $1 million in other grants that depend on its independent status.

Radcliffe must take more of a leading role in shaking up Harvard offices long used...

The line recalls its 16th century sources in mannerist engravings (Blake never crossed the channel, and so had to depend on prints for his contact with Michelangelo). His famous Glad Day, showing Albion, the spirit of resurgent England, in mid-dance with his arms flung ecstatically wide, was based on a mediocre diagram of Vitruvian man in an old treatise on proportion; it transcends its source as Macbeth transcends Holinshed...
