The press has thrown off self-censorship, and the next step could be the legitimization of multiparty politics to accommodate the newfound sense of "people power."

Women undergraduates would sacrifice forever the advantages of attending a college vitally attuned to their concerns and expressly designed to answer their needs; alumnae would sacrifice forever inclusion in that community of women, which given the intransigent realities of modern sexual politics, can alone provide them with a bulwark and ongoing network of support in their lives beyond the University. These sacrifices are to be made with no return whatsoever...
