Soon the students will return. This is not necessarily a blessing. Some of them add sparkle and pizzazz to this town, and disturb the comfortable self-satisfaction of the average Berkeleyite. Other, unfortunately, give vent to their innate Messiah complexes, and insist on saving the world.
Given that like the priggish middle-classes here, they too are staggeringly ignorant and undeep, you can imagine how unfortunate their involvements will be.
Each academic year brings with it new and increasingly unpleasant surprises.
I look forward to this fall with trepidation.
