...London's delusions are only one example in the long history of the California mind going astray. The first visitors viewed with disgust the polyglot racial mix of Hispanic California, while later Protestant settlers hated the Catholics. Starr dutifully chants the litany of violent gold rush crimes and horrible racist acts against Indians and Chinese, but he makes it clear that these social realities are secondary matters.

...UNIVERSITY'S policy as a shareholder, along with most of its other policies, should be democratically determined. When Harvard owns part of companies that prop racist regimes in Africa, or supply the wherewithal for killing Vietnamese, or fail to provide for the safety of their workers, or subvert democracy in this country by spending large sums of their shareholders' money, all the members of the University are implicated. And all the members of the University therefore have the responsibility -- and ought to have the power -- to find out about such practices and to see that they stop...
