a young Fred Jameson from the Haverford College yearbook of 1954 (cc @majortominor, @coolsandstorm, @businessgoth)
Helen Vendler and Fredric Jameson: Could/would they have done what they did, with email and smartphones at the start of their careers? That gut feeling of No is a pessimism without answer.
