...Sociologist I. L. Horowitz said that Project Camelot's purpose was measuring and forecasting the causes of revolutions and insurgency in underdevolp-areas of the world. It also aimed to find way of climinating the causes, or coping with the revolutions and insurgencies...
Young People. The N.P.D. finds support largely among farmers, lower-middle-class burghers, blue-collar workers, the military and, surprisingly, some young people, mostly high school graduates. Sociologist Erwin Scheuch of the University of Cologne describes N.P.D. sympathizers as "society's relative losers, members of an affluent society who are, relatively speaking, not prospering enough."

Columbia Sociologist Amitai Etzioni applauds the idealism of the young but argues that "they need more time and energy for reflection" as well as more opportunities for authentic service. Ultimately, the great danger of the counter-culture is its self-proclaimed flight from reason, its exaltation of self over society, its Dionysian anarchism. Historian Roszak points out that the rock revolutionaries bear a certain resemblance to the early Christians...
