353. I don't think they will attack rivals in service of their own ambitions, armed with personal

stories, using themselves as an example of an injustice they claim competition was responsible for.
And not when it could be discovered that they are not an example.

Harris was not bused by Federal order. She voluntarily chose to be bused to a better school in the Berkley Hills from her house in the Berkley flatlands, where she did not live in a segregated neighborhood, an “inner city,” or a barrio.

Berkley, in the era when she was voluntarily transported to an excellent school, was, as it still is, one of the most liberal towns in California with a diverse population, abounding with cultural riches and intellectual opportunities. Given that Harris’s father was a PhD, her mother a scientist, I
doubt she lacked access to educational experiences at home. It is great she had access to a school that would have been a resource to gifted children as she was undoubtedly one.

On the other hand, Berkley is the bastion of diversity, culturally, racially, in terms of ethnicities, and always had been, supporting artistic and political radicalism. It would be unusual to be “poor” or deprived there, though many of its street people are. It is an integrated community to the extent that any in America are and it has been way back in its history.
