I was studying classics at NYU and went to Yale to protest Bobby Seal's
jailing and the beginning of the decimation of the Black Panthers.  I was
slightly tear gassed - my first - but mostly I remembered how incredibly
smitten Jean Genet, the French playwright, was with Bobby Seale.  The
traditional Black Panther black leather was irresistible.

I am now at Yale (about one day a week) working on the renovation of Timothy
Dwight College.  The dorm rooms are pretty much intact and it's fascinating
to see how the 1930's gentlemen lived, which was rather well.
