- Answering the question: What if Dirty Harry had been a T.A. for Marxist Cultural Theory?
- Two words. One, mustard. Two, cardigan. KILLER outfit!
- A narc wrote this
- This was published just after Kent State. So you'd know who the real bad guys were. Cut your hair, Comrade Cardigan!
- LOL grad student. Called it!
- "Don't trust anyone over 30 ... or, you know Happiness in general, man"
- Wow, this is a right-wing fever dream. "He's coming for you and your suburban children, aged 2 and 4, named John and Jennifer, probably!"
He remembered going duck-hunting, as a kid, in the late fall, but he wouldn't even handle a shotgun since his return from Viet.Was that a common way to refer to Vietnam? Just shortened like that? First I've seen that. Also, predictably, the family-man is the *real* man, the real hero, because he'd actually *been* to war, as opposed to Murdery McBeardo, who is a nerd.

He's awfully conservatively dressed for a radical college student in 1970. The cardigan, the loafers. Or has he put on the clothes of the family father as a disguise? He also looks a lot like Joe Hill (the writer and son of Stephen King, not the labor organizer).
Midwest State University?
"Nam" yes, but "Viet" no.
Viet No
This exactly the sort that rightwingers fanasize about, but in the millions. That dirty hippie far left they are always dreaming of and talking about, a menace but mysteriously they are never invited on Sunday political talk shows. They're all -powerful but never seen. I wonder if this book is like that.
