Obviously the right of disagreement, which is exercised by the editors of the "Student News," extends also to its readers. Those who assume that Harvard students "en masse" will accept the Marxist doctrine under the stimulus of four pages of weekly propaganda simply question the validity of individual judgment and therefore the theory of Democracy--in short, they state a belief that would be far more acceptable to Josef Stalin or Benito Mussolini than to Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln...

Revolt kept ducking for cover, popping out in a new place, like a prairie gopher. It made soldiers and police trigger-nervous but they remained stanch...
