on STUDENTS
What is wrong with the students? AU over the world the young appear to be in perpetual revolt against some aspect of our civilisation. Is this the normal high-spirited behaviour of young people who simply want larger grants and more say in affairs? Or do the charges, the marches, the apparent hooliganism signify a burning desire for a new look in a world short of responsible sovernment and racked by animosity and war?
