WOW. If I had seen that I wouldn't have been able to make sense of it either. We were all so naive in those days, weren't we?

Looking back, the city was steeped in Neo-Marxism. There was a huge occult (New Age) bookshop on Lake Street called "Sunsight" and later, another one called "Many Voices" opened in St Paul. There was a "white witch" called Antiga (sp?) who I think lived in Uptown who used to hold Wicca-type rituals. The area was steeped in New Age thought and New Age practices.

Remember when CAWG (Central American Working Group) held huge protests to get CIA recruitment off the U of M campus? It was in the national news. The U of M was probably the most "progressive" college in the nation at the time, or certainly near the top of the list. I went to the debate between CAWG and a guy from a conservative student group (can't remember his name) over this, and the auditorium was packed.

I knew some students whose parents were Communists. They used to go to Summer Camp at a place called Circle Pines. There was a network in place even back then. I was very close to one of the tenured professors who was a distinguished scholar - he was hounded terribly by colleagues because he spoke out against what was at the time called "PC" (political correctness). It was a glimpse of things to come, early cancel culture.

That bridge - they painted it my senior year and the fumes became terrible walking across it, I hated it after that!

I almost forgot the Jordan, MN case and Judge Kathleen Morris. And then Jacob Wetterling's disappearance. Strange place, Minnesota. So much out in the open there that I didn't understand.
