Hundreds of flags flapped from balconies: black anarchist, red hammer-and-sickle, blue and red Viet Cong, and red, white and blue Cuban. French "Red Guards" strung up posters proclaiming such sentiments as "It's forbidden to forbid" and "Humanity will not be happy until the last capitalist is hanged with the entrails of the last bureaucrat." The stone bust of Auguste Comte, the 19th century French philosopher-reformer who coined the term sociology, was draped with a red bandanna; a red flag adorned the statue of Louis Pasteur. Inside, in jampacked auditoriums, thousands applauded allright debates that ranged...
...black flag that flew last week above the tumultuous student disorders of Paris stood for a philosophy that the modern world has all but forgotten: anarchy. Few of the students who riot in France, Germany or Italy -or in many another country-would profess outright allegiance to anarchy, but its basic tenets inspire many of their leaders. Germany's "Red Rudi" Dutschke and France's "Red Danny" Cohn-Bendit openly espouse anarchy.

...Colony and place it under the direct rule of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Morton taunts Endecott with this promise of lost authority, and suddenly the Governor becomes as steely as his armor. Delivering a flaming polemic against the King, he sunders his own flagstaff and tromps the red-crossed flag of England underfoot. It is the most powerful moment of the evening and brings to vivid life D. H. Lawrence's comment that Amer ica was born in "black revulsion." Black with wrath, Endecott orders Merry Mount burned to the ground and the Indians massacred. The historical moment...
