...existing structure, and achieve our alternative to it. Control by an irresponsible elite implies the exercise of institutional power in its interest. The trustees support Columbia's participation in I.D.A. because they are part of an elite which benefits from American domination of the oppressed peoples of the wrold.

Yet the movement of the act in which this content is implicit seems to lack internal discipline, to meander where focus should be asserted, to court nonsense and boredom for their own sweet, seductive sakes...
