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.
