...Sunday, March 21, with some 3,400 marchers led by two Nobel Peace prizewinners-the Rev. Martin Luther King and Ralph Bunche, now U.N. Under Secretary for Special Political Affairs. In the procession, whites and Negroes, clergymen and beatniks, old and young, walked side by side. There was a blind man from Atlanta on the arm of his 64-year-old mother. There was a one-legged man from Michigan swinging along on crutches (from the sidelines, white hecklers kept calling out in parade cadence: "Left, left, left").

While the words "And you? Are you blind like a herd of cattle?" appeared on one screen, the TV cameras raked the audience and projected their faces onstage in self-conscious closeups...
...constitution isn't going to solve any problems by itself. And if the HDC has merely moved from resistance to control to blind faith in organization, it will be worse off than before. But it is unlikely it has. Even after the ratification of the constitution, one faction forced through an amendment that made the membership's veto power a reality. Politics serves a symbolic function in Harvard drama, and that spirit of dissent represents the potential for artistic innovation...
