...Marcuse says, because you have not yet been co-opted by a system which offers physical comforts to everyone in exchange for freedom of soul and of action. Workers are co-opted and will not rise to join the students until they can be freed from the giant labor unions which are just as much a part of the system as are the monopolies. The task before us is to break down the giant system, to talk to people as individuals, not as workers or owners. Above all our task is to demonstrate the folly and hypocrisy of modern life...
CHARLESTON, S.C., is a city of antebellum mansions with brass knockers, walled gardens and wrought-iron gates. In spring, the stately peninsula city with its long sense of history is a snug, unharried haven for tourists. Charleston's generally docile Negroes and unpugnacious labor unions have blended well into the Old South texture.

...strike leader, who was arrested last week during a demonstration and has remained in jail, promises "demonstrations, confrontations and more activity on the picket lines for as long as it takes."

But Delsartre and his fellow Communists will vote against De Gaulle's proposals. "I have nothing against him," Delsartre says. "It's his policies we despise. They're antisocial, an-tiworker, antipeople. They serve only the interests...
Dallying Over Demand. Efforts to improve the trade picture have been bungled repeatedly by Harold Wilson's Labor government. After devaluation, Wilson dallied for months over steps to curb domestic demand, which was not only stoking inflation but sucking in imports that Britain could ill afford. The government belatedly imposed a record $2.3 billion of new taxes a year ago and subsequently put new restrictions on bank credit and installment purchases. All such restrictions reckoned without the canny determination of the British consumer, who ran up his personal debt and ran down his personal savings...
