...know that during this turbulent month, while students were proclaiming their political ideals not only in Havana and Budapest but also in Istanbul, Caracas, and Tokyo, only three student groups rioted in these United States--two for the removal of football coaches who had failed to produce winning teams and the third for more free student parking space?
