...complete failure of the moderate student strike in November 1967 for smaller classes, a library, and less stringent degree requirements convinced the students that the faculty and administration didn't want to and couldn't do anything. Traditionally docile to their professors and fatalistic about their futures, French students goaded by Cohn-Bendit began to challege their professors and then to insult them, shout them down, and denounce them as charlatans in a repressive university...
...Need Now Is To Depoliticize the University" Professor Hughes echoes in less stringent terms the desire to separate the university from politics. "The task is to depoliticize connections with the right, rather than repoliticize them from the left."

...party with a girl in his car, drove off the road and killed the girl-then crept quietly away from the scene without saying anything to anyone, leaving car and corpse to be discovered the next day without his assistance. The laws covering a situation like this are stringent-nay, merciless. Such a private citizen would pay a very stiff price indeed for his irresponsible behavior. Yet it seems that Edward Kennedy intends to pay no price...
