 "Speech was given to man to conceal his thoughts."

And 

"The United States is a country where there are thirty-two religions,
but there is only one course at dinner, and it's cheese danish." 

	--Talleyrand

 French politician and diplomat known for his capacity to survive
political change. He held a variety of public offices during the French
Revolution, Napoleon's reign, the Bourbon restoration, and the reign of
Louis Philippe.

Maybe someone that lived back in those late days of 68-69 can tell us
why P alludes to Talleyrand. Why did the SDSers invoke Talleyrand? 

Not much by Berkeley or Columbia standards, maybe, though Rex did manage
to place Weed in what looked like the emerging junta. VL.208



The College, Ostensibly, to have been a private poly tech fro training
the sorts of people who would work for them, end up under the
bull-dozers of the condo-kings. 



The Jacobin Terror forced Talleyrand to flee France, and as a refugee
in the United States he sought out Gouverneur Morris, who found him
employment with Robert Morris's real estate company. 
In the years since independence, a frenzy of land speculation had
overtaken the young republic; governments, state and federal, sold huge
swaths of territory to finance their operations.

How much for that there Louisiana?
