...change, they say, and it is producing what McGovern termed in his acceptance speech a political ferment comparable to "the eras of Jefferson, Jackson and Roosevelt." "We're just trying to ride the waves that are coming in," explains one of McGovern's top theorists, Fred Dutton, a lawyer who advised both John and Robert Kennedy...
...Fred Dutton, on the other hand, foresees an enduring role for the young, with new waves in 1976 and 1980. McGovern, he observes, is not the cause of it, is almost incidental to it. Involved are widely held beliefs, desires and hopes, a sense of the regeneration of the individual, a turning away from the traditional Democratic pattern of massive Government programs-even though McGovern himself favors a number of such programs. Dutton argues that just as this wave is developing, Nixon is adopting Democratic Party precepts of the past. "The young are not preordained Democrats," Dutton argues...
Assuming McGovern's nomination, McGovern aides aimed to deploy an army of 100,000 young volunteers on July 20 to start registering. This effort, Dutton believes, "is the real sleeper" in the presidential politics of 1972.

Now, in his latest work, Freedom and Beyond (E.P. Dutton; $7.95), Holt argues that reformers of classroom methods might better work to "deschool" society...
...Trotsky: The Great Debate Renewed (Dutton) a panel of academic Marxists gives a New Left curl to the old split hairs. New York's Pathfinder Press continues its reprinting of Trotsky's massive body of political journalism with a volume, covering 1934-35. Peter Weiss's new play, Trotsky in Exile (Atheneum), is a worshipful piece of political theater in which vignettes of Trotsky's career are staged against the moments leading up to the assassination. In England, a new version of that Communist calvary is being written by Novelist Nicholas Mosley, and Director Joseph Losey...
