Although he said things that needed saying-and the majority of Americans doubtless found his arguments unexceptionable-Nixon probably won few converts from the ranks of the disaffected. Hard-core radicals, such as the Marxist-oriented Students for a Democratic Society (estimated nationwide membership: 6,000), for example, reject all such rational formulations. Negroes know that agitation in the '50s and '60s has prompted more progress than did reasoned argument. Test cases frequently come from broken laws. At many universities in the past two years, it was clear that authorities agreed to reforms after, rather than before, upheavals...
...theory of society, Marxism's "laws" have been mocked by events, such as the increasing prosperity of the workers and the near disappearance of cyclical economic crisis. As a political movement and myth, it has been far more successful. Regimes calling themselves Marxist (and who has a right to say they are not?) rule a third of mankind. Their future expansion, while not as likely as it seemed 20 years ago, is by no means impossible.

The Forman plan, added the General Board of the Disciples of Christ, implies "an ideology we cannot accept and a methodology we cannot approve." Forman also got a polite but unequivocal rebuff from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and Jewish organizations opposed...
FIFTY years after the Bolshevik revolution, the Russians finally achieved the two-day weekend. With it, they raised a problem long ago solved by Americans: what to do with the extra day. Naturally the Soviets seek a Marxist-Leninist solution. "We have nothing against your supermarkets and all your material facilities for leisure time," says Sergei Vishnevsky, a Pravda editor with long experience in the U.S. "But they have to be combined with high standards of culture, which your middle classes do not have. Material facilities are dead without the supreme blessing of culture...
