Those aren't citations, they're just asides.

Yeah, it's very strange to write an "origins of" essay without citing examples (just Larry Summers?), referencing experts, or showing evidence. This article is just about his feelings. He's not an historian, or a social scientist, and frankly I don't think he's familiar enough with this topic to present an historical overview. It's an unconvincing essay.

I laughed at the beginning when he stated that student movements in the '60s didn't have any real power. Paul, please just take a sociology class or something.
