...National Council of Churches, the Socialist Workers Party, the Communist Party of the U.S.A., the Student Mobilization Committee and the Urban Coalition. Its leaders tend to be older and in some cases more militant and more radical than the Moratorium leadership. Some of them helped organize the protests during the Democratic Convention in Chicago, and they met last summer in Cleveland to plan mass "Marches Against Death" for November in Washington and San Francisco. To many of those active in the "New Mobe," the war is just one of the reasons for protest. They prefer dramatic tactics and appeal particularly...

In Baghdad, 250,000 Iraqis demonstrated against Lebanon, as did mobs in Libya...
...Race Relations in Colonial Africa (1967). The Center has indulged, supported, even cossetted this kind of scholarly inquiry: indeed, if Hyland wants to blow his mind, he is welcome to read the galley proofs of a 1500-page book, soon to be on the radicalized newsstands, called Power and Protest in Black Africa. It follows the course of anti-colonial and anti-neo-colonial agitation in Africa from...
