[lbo-talk] Liberal Intellectuals and the Coordinator Class

[John Adams]

I'm working at a university these days, and we rotate the cleaning 
duties for our kitchen among the groups. Other than the refrigerator, 
which does tend to accumulate crap over time (and doesn't yours at 
home?), we keep the area pretty nice. It was not so in the last 
corporate office where I worked--not a sty, but not well-tended either.
