Ambiguous Position. What of the administration's decision to grant the amnesty demands while the blacks were still holding the student union? The trustees took an ambiguous position. "Cornell had no bloodshed, no headlines of murder, no substantial property damage, no students hospitalized and in very short order a campus that was returned to relative peace," they conceded. Asserting that nobody will ever know if the administration's surrender was the right way to settle the crisis, the trustees noted that Cornell officials had placed the protection of life above the reputation of the university...
...lives, I could have stayed. But the enjoyment of the jolt itself, the aesthetic pleasure of rebellion, is a horrifying thought. For it is unanswerable; there is no return. The Faculty can rap on love and the Corporation can let the poor clip its coupons, all to no avail. Grant what concession you will, unless you turn American society upside-down and free the consciousness from the tyranny of the corporate state-and maybe even after all that-there is no answer to a man who enjoys his act of rebellion, who says isn't-it-wonderful-look...

They are now allowed only 10%, or $1,000. To allow the higher deduction, Kennedy said, would give an undesirable "double benefit" to middle-income taxpayers. To avoid that, he would raise the standard maximum deduction only to 12%, or $1,400. As for taxpayers near the poverty line, Kennedy proposed...
