...strong antiwar stand and reformist views on other issues have picked up predictable support from Bay State students and youngish voters. But a good many of the district's older residents who might otherwise favor Philbin are finding Drinan's liberal stance palatable because of his Roman collar. Says Drinan, former provost of Boston College and dean of the law school: "I'm not Father Groppi or Dan Berrigan. T don't burn draft records or take to the streets.

...nice guys. We want to be 'tasty'-y'know, big guys." Most if not all the skinheads are working-class boys from 15 to 18, stuck in low-paying manual-labor jobs and reflecting the crudest prejudices of their blue-collar parents. Few have read a book or been in a church. "All I did in school," recalls one, "is kick the teacher...

Students have balked at the overcrowded, understaffed, bureaucratic quality of university life. For a time they were joined in France by blue-collar workers seeking higher wages. Students and workers are still demonstrating regularly all over the Continent, but not together: their short-lived alliance is dead. As in the U.S., worker resentment of long-haired, privileged students has often led to clashes between the two groups. In fact, the U.S. example may have had much...
