IVIV (0) Epigraph

[Mark Kohut]

on 1968, in France. From Kurlansky's "1968":

 "it began with sex, back in january when France was still bored....
'issue of coeducational dormitories"...Nanterre...no intermingling...women snuck into men's rooms....

by May: 
students carried 'black flag of anarchy" [see P passim]....the bourgeoisie brought food to the students on the barricades. No shots fired, although bloody beatings.

Then the unions of workers
struck.....virtual chaos.....the society paralyzed: ANARCHY......
