...turning from the tactics of protest and confrontation--marches, pickets and sit-ins--to those of organization and resistance. Although the students will continue to utilize dramatic, "one-shot" incidents of protest to attract publicity and membership, they are shifting, as national vice president, Carl Davidson, puts it, "to dig in for the long haul, to become full-time, radical, sustained, relevant." Marches, says a Chicago SDSer, "are just not enough. They won't stop this war.

The war in Viet Nam is so little understood by their countrymen that the relative death rate of the two sides is given wholly disproportionate emphasis." After reading this book, those statistics take on a much deeper meaning...
...minute solution after the lack of direct sun light killed the natural grass in Houston's Astrodome. Astro ballplayers still complain that the synthetic AstroTurf, a bladed carpet of green nylon backed by vinyl, makes hard-hit grounders skid rather than bounce, and that their spikes do not dig in firmly. On the other hand, the Houston University football team, which plays its home games in the Astrodome, found the going great, and it was no hindrance to making Houston's pass-catching split end and place kicker, Ken Hebert, top scorer in the nation last year...
