Compared with the marches of yesteryear, the antiwar demonstrations that sizzled and, in most cases, fizzled from New York to San Francisco last week were downright duds. Only 400 marchers turned up under drizzly skies in Washington's Franklin Park, where their modest demeanor, punctuated with a scattering of McCarthy buttons, struck an odd contrast to the motley of the Pentagon marchers last October.

But the students, carried away by their own heady sense of sudden power, shouted down the university's offer and marched to Morningside Park, where they tore down a fence at the gymnasium excavation site...
