"Only the educated are free" - Epictitus, reads the inscription on the portals of the University. Wince and enter, all ye readers familiar with the over-trod paths of cliched irony. The story takes in great deal about university life: the cult of "publish or perish," recondite graffiti, the pusillanimity of faculty, and the importance of contributions from wealthy right wingers. Featuring an ambitious liberal college President who makes too many concessions, the black student who refuses to represent anything, the teetering lesbian fighting lucidity, and the lonely idealist who stands erect before the mighty god Tenure.
