As angry demonstrations continued at universities across the country last week, however, it became clear that court orders have mixed results. At City College in Manhattan, black and Puerto Rican students did obey an injunction, evacuating property that they had occupied for 13 days, but savage fighting later broke out on campus between whites and club-wielding blacks and Puerto Ricans (see EDUCATION).

"But when the measures of those who are at its head become such as appears to them unjustified and oppressive, if open resistance be improper, they have, at least, the right of submitting their cause...
Chilsen later conceded gamely that "there was overconfidence from Washington to Wausau." Overconfidence was certainly not one of Obey's deficiencies during the race-or later, for that matter.
