...Harvard, they carried a meat cleaver with them when they confronted the administration with their demands.... Most of you have silently allowed the Hitler-type revolutionaries to blacken your reputation in America and throughout the world.... Your good name and your reputation have definitely been blackened because all around the world they have pronounced you guilty of... howling foul curse words at respected public officials,... kidnapping college presidents,... killing police,... burning banks."

...Margret. When radical students, led by Lockwood, take over one of the administration buildings, they demand a new college president. 'Their first choice is Che Guevara," reports the dean to the boggled trustees. "Oh they know he's dead," he adds. "Their second choice is Eldridge Cleaver, and the third is-Paco Perez!"

...entire American society. A major factor contributing to the new unrest is the growing unpopularity of the war among blacks as well as whites. In 1967 black soldiers roundly criticized Martin Luther King and Cassius Clay for objecting to the war; today, King, Clay and others like Eldridge Cleaver and Julian Bond, who have been heavy critics of the war, stand highest in their esteem...
