One of the toughest years our country has ever had. I was 22 and still managing to stay in college.

Maybe I'm ignorant on this one, but I have no idea what or who that picture is. Can you enlighten me ?

Here's a quote from the web site I ripped it from:

This is perhaps the most famous image from the Columbia University uprising of 1968, snapped by a Life Magazine photographer on the chaotic first day: a student smoking President Kirk's cigar. The student was not a serious occupier of the President's office, & left shortly thereafter, well before the arrests. The image has been used ever since to discredit student building occupations as the actions of spoiled children who only want to play with grownup toys. Photo: Life Magazine, May 10, 1968.
