...entire program worked? Think, for a moment, of the consequences of a microcosm that would be allowed to determine the proper path for itself. That would be a terrible thing in a democracy. Betsy Ross would probably have dropped a stitch at the mere thought, and that long-haired rebel George Washington just might have fallen out of his boat...

At his alma mater, Columbia College (Class of '60), he taped the thoughts of Rebel Student Leader David Shapiro during a taxi ride to Queens, where the Phi Beta Kappa poet was to give a reading.

Unlike Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr., a 43-year-old rebel who is willing to go to jail to dramatize his opposition to the draft and the Viet Nam war, Columbia's student strike leaders are demanding, among other things, total amnesty for violating the law. There is the irony that neither Mark Rudd nor most of the other Columbia S.D.S. leaders were even in occupied buildings during the battle with police three weeks ago. Thus they were not among those arrested on criminal-trespass charges...
