Students for a Democratic Society is an agglomeration of 70,000 radical reformers and sometime revolutionaries that sounds fearsomely monolithic but is actually as disorganized and ragtail as Coxey's Army. At the S.D.S. national convention in Chicago last week, the internal dissension was so severe that the five-day meeting promised to be the most chaotic in S.D.S.'s seven-year history-and possibly the last...
...Eggs. Next day Nixon and his swelling entourage-"This is beginning to look like Coxey's Army," cracked one U.S. correspondent-headed east to Russia's great Siberian hinterland, where the earth is black and rich, and sunflowers (grown for their commercial oil) lattice the countryside with gold.

Young Connie was a catcher-one of the young game's best. He was in Pittsburgh as manager of the Pirates when Coxey's Army marched on Washington in 1894; he was manager of Milwaukee in the Western League when Dewey took Manila in 1898. And when MacArthur landed at Inchon in 1950, Mr. Mack was still at the ballpark. He was 87, and he had been manager of the Philadelphia Athletics...
