Potentially strong liberal forces have not gotten together in any meaningful way yet, they desperately need good leadership.

As with last spring's anti-Marine demonstrations, threats of violence from the right will bring hundreds of the usually moderate to the SDS ranks just to align themselves against jock violence.
