...gain or glory but for the satisfaction of contributing to the general good. In a broad sense, the movement is not political at all but religious. "We want to create a world in which love is more possible," says an S.D.S leader, Carl Oglesby. For all their rant and naivete, the New Radicals can sound strongly appealing. The fact that many of their proposals are impractical and that they lack a program is not an ultimate argument against them. Critics may perform a service to a society by pointing out evil and injustice without necessarily offering alternatives. Some...
Deep Concerns. Hall rebuffed the police, demanding to see an arrest war rant. Suddenly he pushed Mrs. Johnson down an outside flight of six steps and started swinging at the cops. All were smaller than he. Together they knocked him down, but Hall fought free. Patrol man Joseph W. Jackson, 28, clubbed him on the head with his night stick; the stick broke.

Both marvelous singer-actors, they bent and shaded their voices in a seemingly infinite variety of veiled sneers, smiling threats and choked curses. In duets, Ludwig's vibrant, richly textured mezzo-soprano enfolded Berry's robust, securely focused baritone like velvet...
...regional legislature. He was trying to push through a bill streamlining the Slovenian health-insurance bureaucracy-for which over half of the deputies worked and thus were reluctant to see reorganized. Speaker after speaker rose to denounce Smole's proposed law. Tolerantly, the president let the deputies rant and rave, confident that when all was said, the party's will would be done as usual. But when he called for a vote, the measure, to his astonishment, was voted down...
