a couple things:

"We want pot, not paraquat" (when was the last time you thought about that, huh?);
The No Nukes concerts at MSG, post-Three Mile Island;
ummm, I don't remember much else - memory hazy from too much beer back then.

Princeton as a safety school.  Imagine.  I got the thin envelope from there, as did a HS classmate who went on to another Ivy.  Me, they laughed, I'm sure.  My classmate was told "Regrettably, you're not the Princeton type".  I'll bet - just b/c of the safety school aspect - he isn't getting to lecture there any time soon.

to be full of herbicide.  Not for nothing that college kids are alleged to be "smart"....
