“No one in Hyde Park or the University of Illinois is going to mind because Marxist and terrorist, excuse me freedom fighters like Bill Ayuers are celebrated in that world…”
Well, not “no one” in Hyde Park. At least not always.
I lived in Hyde Park for 7 years (5600 block, South Maryland); of course, my wife and I were about the only Republicans in the neighborhood with the exception of some physicians and hard-headed guys from the B-School we knew, but you can’t say “no one.” Well, I also knew some emigrants from the USSR who weren’t too fond of the left.
Lotta scattered brains in that community, people who are tops in the world in their fields but who couldn’t manage a hot dog stand without starving to death.
And what a depressing place along about February every year. Gray, cold, snowy, with nothing to do but academics.
