That would probably work. The office for grad student teaching fellows
in Enlish at the U 0f Mich. looked out over the central campus -- and
one day after a fresh snowfall back in '56 a friend examining the tracks
ouside made exactly this suggestion -- and neither of us had ever heard
of Mises.

Actually there are many human activities that can and do generate
spontaneous order -- but usually in a context in which that process has
a backup in the form of an abitrary order to be imposed if the anarchic
tactic fails.

Hillside had some sort of sex scandal a few years ago -- the president &
some faculty wife, I think. They have big money from some rightist
foundation.
