...looting and the obvious obsolescence of the police confrontations to the demonstrators were not the only breaks Wednesday night made with Washington. (If they were, the result would have been closer to the Weathermen's days of rage in Chicago.) The other significant fact of what happened here was the make-up of the crowd. In Washington, the demonstrators had been Weathermen, their allied groups and close followers. Here, the ranks included younger teen-agers (the high-school revolutionaries all those books are being written about), many non-students, teeny-bopper girls, and ghetto blacks. Weathermen, NAC people...
...scant 28 miles from the Cambodian capital, government troops clashed with an estimated 300 Viet Cong guerrillas. Farther east, North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces, intent on protecting their sanctuaries and supply lines, fought pitched battles with Cambodian regulars. In neighboring Laos and South Viet Nam, such clashes have raged for the better part of a decade-and continued to rage last week. Now Cambodia, too, is fast becoming a full-fledged participant in the Indochina conflict. "There is no need for us to declare war," said Premier Lon Nol, the general who helped depose Prince Norodom Sihanouk as Chief...
Never a Pet. Appointment in Samarra, recounting the last days of Julian English, a doomed young member of the upper middle class, was a great success. O'Hara's career was truly launched.

This time, at least, the issues are more clear-cut. The indictments charge the twelve with deliberately planning and organizing last fall's "days of rage." Unlike their conduct during the Democratic Convention, the behavior of the police in the later battle was marked by great restraint; they can hardly be accused of fomenting the fight. According to the indictments, the disruptive dozen trained the rioters in karate and techniques for resisting arrest, and formed them into "affinity groups" that attacked policemen, private citizens and property. All twelve face up to five years in prison...
Part of the rage must come from the fact that, for over two hundred years of slavery, the black man was usually forbidden to write, publish or even learn to read. Despite this prohibition, there were still about 100 Negro poets of varying significance before the Civil War, many of whom managed to publish their poems in church manuscripts or under white patronage. The best known was the Revolutionary poet Phillis Wheatley (who coined the phrase "first in peace" to describe George Washington and wrote heroic couplets in the style of Alexander Pope...
