...himself would be a party-wrecking, personal vendetta against Johnson-the rationale he had earlier used for staying out. Now he could say that the split was already there and the "disastrous, divisive policies" of the Johnson Administration were to blame.

The service is the undertaking of two unruly firebrands: Marshall Bloom, 23, who graduated from Amherst and later was temporarily suspended from the London School of Economics for organizing a student protest meeting; and Raymond Mungo, 21, who kept Boston University in a constant state of nerves when he edited the campus paper...
