Where We Begin
We begin here, on this campus, because this is the ground we share; and because the argument we want to make is not one that can be imported from somewhere else and applied to our situation, but one that has to be made from within it, from the specific circumstances that produced this student body, this institution, this particular form of political quietude that we are all, in our different ways, participants in.
