Study and action

A workshop about the party programs of
the Dutch political parties was rejected
by the students rather scornful ... they
had done that more than one can stomach
in high school ... never came out one
sensible thing. Moreover ... they could
write in those programs what they wanted.
Years later, one of Richard's classmates
would be one of writers of the PvdA
(Social Democrat) program. Jos de Beus ...

Obviously most student stumbled over
statistics. Richard's only B. On the
other hand he was floundering in a
project about Chile ... Ultimately he
copied a lot from Regis Debray's
'Chilean revolution'. And actions,
demonstrations, occupations? Hardly ...
pasting some posters ... the head of
a Mozambican on a pole ... and had been
to the Vietnam demo in Amsterdam.
