To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

The Protest Warriors
One of my correspondents alerted me to these guys -- the Protest Warriors. They infiltrate left wing demonstrations with sly subversive signs. They delight in tweaking lefty twits. They also perform a public service by exposing a lot of the careful stage- management that lies behind some of these supposedly "spontaneous" displays. See, for instance, this analysis of how the San Francisco Chronicle manipulated images of a protest rally.
Thanks, J. B.
