[LAURIE SOLOMON]

You forgot provision of protection from the warmth from the cold night
winds.   (smile)

So maybe it's the tunnels that provide the inspiration for solidarity with
Gaza.

I taught at the U. of Rochester for two years in the dark backward and abysm
of time (1978-80) and in fact enjoyed it a lot.  Following this link, I
found that Rochester's "Campus Times" has not changed its type face in 30
years.  (It was I think one of the first university newspapers to be written
and edited entirely on computers.)

Rochester is a strangely isolated place.  (The campus is partially
surrounded by a cemetery, which contains the mortal remains of both
Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony; it's so cold and snowy that the
major campus buildings are connected by tunnels; and Steve, the bartender at
the faculty club, who made a famous vodka martini with the conjuration,
"It's all in the wrist," pried the Watney's Red Barrel dispenser from the
bar and presented it to me as I left town.)  If I may be allowed one
self-referential story, as the election of 1980 approached, the then-editor
of the student paper asked me to write an analysis for a special edition; he
also asked a number of members of the political science [sic] department to
do so; they agreed -- on the condition that the paper not publish my
article...

I'm proud of the contemporary UR students. --CGE
