...breakaway faction of the Students for a Democratic Society, but it was the most encompassing. The indictment was filed in Detroit because, it was charged, the conspiracy was born at a secret meeting of the Weathermen in Flint, Mich., last December. Among those indicted was Weatherman Leader Mark Rudd, 23, the former Columbia University student who rose to S.D.S. prominence through his generalship of the student uprising there two years...

But before anyone can say Mark Rudd or Ronald Reagan, the campus is aflame, cops begin beating on kids, and though Harry quietly rejects the stance of the radicals, he maniacally attacks the pose of the administration. Seething at Harry's rebellion, a ring of professors conspires to bar him from the teaching profession. Not that Harry minds...
