...failed in Bolivia, James concludes, by ignoring his own precepts. He picked Bolivia as a centrally located focus for Latin American revolution, disregarding the fact that Bolivian peasants had already benefited from one revolution in 1952, and had no quarrel with the government or army. He highhandedly overruled local Communists and relied on imported Cuban revolutionaries. He wandered about the country with no coherent strategy, and in the end, he let his guerrillas be hemmed in by the more mobile government troops...
...viewers saw Rat Patrol, Garrison's Gorillas, or an old Jerry Lewis movie. Simultaneously, of course, ABC cameramen were taping the minute-by-minute events on the floor and around town. This footage was quickly edited into an "instant special," which went on at 9:30 p.m. local time. The opening night's 90 minutes, for example, were culled from some 24 hours of film and videotape.

It was not until the out-of-state attorneys won a substantial number of victories on their own that some Southern states began trying to ban the intruders...
Following standard procedure, Sobol, who had not been admitted to the Louisiana bar, argued the Plaquemines case in association with a local lawyer. After appearing four times without objection, he was suddenly arrested and charged with practicing without a license. Another lawyer took over the defense, and Duncan was found guilty because he touched a white boy on the arm while breaking up a threatened fight. The U.S. Supreme Court eventually reversed the conviction. Meanwhile, Sobol decided to fight his own case and went to federal court to get his trial stopped...
