...Warholesque fame with bullhorns and sometimes with their bodies. Many of them have now disappeared into a reclusive existence at home or exile abroad. Consider: Mark Rudd underground with the Weatherman. Stokely Carmichael in self-imposed exile in Guinea. Fiery Berkeley Communist Bettina Aptheker in a house in San Jose to rear her child and write a book. Former S.D.S. President Carl Oglesby writing songs on a Vermont farm and lecturing at M.I.T. John Lewis, S.N.C.C. co-founder who once promised to sweep the civil rights movement "through the South the way Sherman did," is directing voter education...
...near water. Half the U.S. now lives within 50 miles of a seacoast or the Great Lakes. The fast gainers in the 1960s were middle-sized metropolitan areas (pop. 700,000 to 2,000,000) in California, Arizona and Texas.

Time magazine [July 12, 1954] said America's bill for the invasion was five million dollars. The planes bombed and strafed Puerto Barrios, Puerto San Jose and Guatemala City, the capital. (Eduardo Galeano, Guatemala, Occupied Country, N.Y. 1969, p. 48) The democratically elected government of Argenz, the most popular president in the country's history, fell in ten days...
...sure, the "conversation" provided some news and a few insights: renewed emphasis on welfare reform, predictions of an expansionary budget, a candid admission that rerunning the San Jose "hostility" tape on Election Eve was a "mistake" (see THE NATION). But follow-up questions were few, and the four questioners-NBC's John Chancellor, CBS's Eric Sevareid, ABC's Howard K. Smith and Nancy Dickerson of Public Broadcasting-failed, for example, to pin down the President on how he planned to achieve economic expansion without inflation...
