Mods and Rockers, those peculiar breeds of British youth, made their seasonal migration to Brighton and points south, and fought a few Easter skirmishes. Other adolescents, together with older Ban-the-Bombers, set out on the annual march from Aldermaston to London's Trafalgar Square, where their beards and unkempt heads of hair frightened the pigeons.

Its leaders chose Easter weekend for the march, although they must have realized that Congress would be in recess and Johnson probably in Texas. Students made no appointments with officials. They did not seem to think that they could "come and reason together" with Johnson; nor did they believe that a dramatic reevaluation of U.S. policy would result...
