the years passed, it seemed increasingly that the things I was interested in could scarcely matter in comparison to those other, more powerful forces.
Yet in retrospect, it is remarkable how little came from the social and political movements of that time and place. I no longer remember the names of any of the Berkeley people who were out to change the world. I scarcely recall what they wanted to do. After a decade or two I must look hard to find our planet any different for their efforts. It seems that in the long run, they mattered all but naught.
