...leaders disagree. Goldberg could not have postponed his visit indefinitely, they argue. It would have been a clear sign of weakness, a giving in to pressure. He had to come; and, because SDS had not ruled out the possibility of a "disruptive" demonstration, he had to agree to the public meeting...

He did not commit himself. But, on Wednesday morning, SDS leaders told him they needed something to bring to their membership that night. He told them, he agreed that there should be some "preferential right to ask questions"--that was all. But, for the purposes of the SDS leaders, it was enough...
