...Basically, we are spiritually healthy people. But there is a sort of unrest, even a sense of emptiness. Most people need a sense that they're part of some common purpose, and it has to be a purpose that they believe in and think worthwhile. We've lost a lot of that really because people feel cut off by bigness and the rapid growth of today's society. Everything seems beyond their control. I don't want to dismantle the Federal Government-it's sort of heresy on my part to talk of decentralizing control...
...uprooted paving stones, and fiercely battled police for control of the streets. The government at first used stern measures, sending thousands of police in waves to storm the barricades and beat the students to the ground with rubber truncheons. Then, alarmed by the growing toll of injuries, the government lost its resolve to smash the student revolt; it withdrew its police, and in effect ceded the field to the students.

But it did inflict severe new wounds on Saigon and its people...
Surprisingly, S.D.S. at the University of Iowa is stronger than at Berkeley, where the local chapter is lost in a welter of radical campus groups. To raise funds, says Graduate Student Leonard Goldberg, 22, Berkeley's S.D.S. is often reduced to "throwing a party, charging a dollar a head and serving cheap beer." Money is a problem almost everywhere. The national S.D.S. owes the Federal Government $10,000 in back taxes. Receiving little money from headquarters, Columbia Graduate John Fuerst, 23, hitchhikes around the country as one of S.D.S.'s eight at-large national officers. Fuerst...
