ABSTRACT

They turn you on, the student strike-and-bust stories—Red Flag/ Black Flag (1969), the Paris tale as told by reporters for a London weekly, Up Against the Ivy Wall (1968), by Columbia undergraduate reporters, the narrative chapters of the Cox Commission Report. If you’re a prof and your school hasn’t been hit and you’ve got a grievance, you read them hand running, excited, believing, all hot-pugnacious-involved . . . Up against the wall, Prexl Suck eggs, Trustee!
