...sequel could be a dangerous new arms race in the Middle East, or else a windfall of economic aid for the area. To help develop "cooperative programs for the economic and social development of all the countries of the region," and to keep an eye on the strategic situation in the Mideast, Johnson set up a special subcommittee of the National Security Council, patterned after the ExCom machinery installed by John F. Kennedy during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. Summoned back from his post at the Ford Foundation to serve as the group's executive secretary was McGeorge Bundy...
...dictatorial leadership. Neither the revisionists (CP) nor the Maoists (PL) accept truly democratic methods of decision making internally, and both groups have grubby, materialistic values. But in order to build a movement among adults who are repelled by the old Left and alienated from present society, SDS must develop an entirely new ideology. It must show these adults how their personal sense of alienation relates to the overall structure of decision making. "To reach these people," says Calvert, "we must involve them on the basic level of their own lives...

In the areas where membership is growing most rapidly, students have had little or no previous experience with radical ideas of political organizing. Many of these chapters are located...
...split, moreover, is only one of a series of problems that SDS intellectuals say the organization must solve when shifting tactics and developing an ideology. First, aside from differences resulting from age, SDS is likely to reveal genuine political differences among its members as it attempts to define more clearly a program for social change. Second, assuming SDS can develop a radical movement among adults, it must decide whether to absorb them into the present organization or split them off into a "Movement for a Democratic Society." In either case, students will risk domination by the older radicals. Third, there...
