I was a student at New York Law School in 1970, which was also the year of Kent State and Mark Rudd. Funny, my memory is of a computer being held hostage at Columbia. I remember marching in Foley Square and all the government types taking everyone pictures.

I also remember the inflexible types you mention and how closed minded a lot of them were except to their own ideas. I especially remember one guy who thought it was a great idea to hold the Dean's office hostage because we didn't have any native American students and getting totally pissed off when no one would join him in his crusade. Eventually the cops dragged him out of the Dean's doorway and he quit school (or was tossed out).

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall to hear the stuff that Bernie must have been saying back in those days.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
