Twenty, years later the Crimson recorded the disgraceful period of selfish imperialism and expansion. Today it decries that period, its purposes as well as its methods. The principles of self-aggrandizement and power which guided the nation at that hour are attacked by the Crimson as they reappear today as "the American Century."

In the article, Norwegian anti-Marketeers were described as a group of diverse elements, upset farmers and selfish fishermen "supported by a diffuse alliance of Maoist youth, Lutheran fundamentalists, mildly leftist university professors," etc. This bunch was reported to "smash windows" and "rip radio aerials from cars bearing 'Yes to EEC' bumper stickers." The only argument this bunch was credited with was that "EEC membership would allow...
