We want you to fight instead of wringing your hands ineffectually. Craven capitulation. This is a gross disappointment. I thought better of you.

The guy with the incredible stereo put his speakers up in his third floor window and the music would pour out over the quad. And yeah, we still sing "This is not my beautiful house / this is not my beautiful life..." 43 years on.
