I thought that was odd, too. Gotta love that first sentence: "The appearance of ... anarchists among the protesters ... is tantalizing but perplexing." Nothing quite like being tantalized and perplexed simultaneously.

>The appearance of some self-proclaimed anarchists among the protesters at
the Republican convention is tantalizing but perplexing. With radical
effusions so out of style, what are we to make of these figures from beyond
the fringe? They summon us back to a time and place when anarchists were
taken seriously, Russia in the 19th century, and to the great novelists who
grappled with the phenomenon.
