This account tells the story well. It’s nuts to me that it only took a a few days to whip these kids into a frenzy. Maybe late 60’s California was a lot more naieve than we are today (and school administratiors not so...

Thing one: I almost lost faith in humanity when I couldn’t retrieve an article I needed as a source for an evolution paper.
