Sexual intercourse began In nineteen sixty-three (Which was rather late for me)- Between the end of the Chatterley ban And the Beatls' first LP.
Up to then there'd be only been A sort of bargaining A wrange for the ring. A shame that started at sixteen And spread to everything
Then all at once the quarrel sank: Everyone felt the same, And every life became A brilliant breaking of the bank, A quite unlosable game.
So life was never better than In nineteen sixty-three (Though just too late for me) - Between the end of the Chatterley ban And the Beatles' first LP |

Women must "Stop loving the victors in violent encounters [or social superiors]...Women must not marry...Women must reject their role as the principal consumers in the capitalist state...They should form household cooperatives...and use cosmetics strictly for fun."

It's tru that the gymnasium project was scrapped, but the real issue was Vietnam, and the war dragged on for seven more horrible years. You can't change government policy by attacking a private institution...We at Columbia were powerless, and our little revolution was no more than a symbolic gesture.
