...atmosphere at S.D.S. headquarters on the top floor of Emerson Hall was a little like that at one of Fidel Castro's Committees for the Defense of the Revolution in Havana. Emerson buzzed with frenetic activity, the intense conversations punctuated by the thunk, thunk, thunk of two hard-working-mimeograph machines. On the wall hung a great poster portrait of Lenin, and stairways were decorated with slogans and placards. One sign read: "A revolution without joy is hardly worth the trouble."
