Fred was calm-eyed radical Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Ever do an old boyfriend/girlfriend search? Sure you do. Found this interview with an old boyfriend about how he radicalized his student newspaper in the late 60s.

What a character. Now there was a guy who really got feminism. You wouldn't hear him talk about political correctectness as a bad thing or a have-to. He wanted to. He happily and openly tip-toed through language landmines, just out of respect.

...As I look back on it now, you know it's too long and it needs a little work, but you know in those days it depended on the group. I mean somebody like that, I wasn't dare going to mess with, you know, I figured to have a male editor start editing this heavy feminist work was just asking for trouble, so I didn't dare screw around with her work.

From the third segment of the interview; I can't link to it directly.
