Fun fact one of the three is by Czeslaw Milosz who spread awareness of Slavic poetry and experiences under Stalinism and WWII.
His tenure spanned 20 years 1960-1980. His POV of the Free Speech Movement etc. was negative mostly due to his real life experiences with conflict:
Miłosz's relationship to student protesters was sometimes antagonistic: he called them "spoiled children of the bourgeoisie"[72] and their political zeal naïve. At one campus event in 1970, he mocked protesters who claimed to be demonstrating for peace and love: "Talk to me about love when they come into your cell one morning, line you all up, and say 'You and you, step forward—it’s your time to die—unless any of your friends loves you so much he wants to take your place!'"
Terrific news. It has been a great haul for the Cal faculty/researchers in the past couple of years. The equivalent of an academic Rose Bowl victory.
Can they tackle?
Go Bears!
Keep it up, Bear Brains!
