Libby and I before the Mathematics building at NYU.
Radicals held a supercomputer for ransom here, trying to raise
money to bail out a handful of Black Panthers. When
the deal fell through, a big argument broke out between the Leftists,
who wanted to blow the computer up, and the Anarchists, who
simply wanted to wave an electromagnet over it and erase the files --
rather an insightful day in the annals of Anarchy, I think.
The radicals won out, though the fuse was doused by informers
as the mainframe-nappers emptied the building.
