...conspiracy of student revolutionaries. That demonology is no less false than the native radical doctrine that attributes all wars, racial injustices, and poverty to the machinations of a capitalist and militarist "Establishment." Student revolutionists within SDS planned turbulent confrontations and revolutionary tactics. They manipulated facts in ways that created distrust and bred unwarranted antagonism. There apparently was occasional talk of wider revolution to overthrow the present political system. A very few revolutionists may have been in dead earnest. More, we suspect, were half in dreamland, feverishly discussing romantic tactics but hardly contemplating realistic execution. Part of the responsibility...

Thereupon, the committee set out to hire substitutes. Many of the newcomers were recruited from a special intensive...
Though his cancer was arrested by modern methods, he has an abiding nostalgia for old Russian peasant remedies, and a distrust of medical intervention as destructive of the organic relation of man to nature. He was officially rehabilitated in 1957. He found a job teaching mathematics in Ryazan, 120 miles southeast of Moscow. It was harder finding a house. Finally he built one atop a garage, using three walls of surrounding buildings for his own walls and adding a front and a roof...
