There were many heroes, but two veterans especially stood out. Tom Nicosia, captain for the second year, netted two goals including the game winner. The rest of his play was also exceptional, and he worked hard to keep up the team spirit. "Nic was super. It's the best game I've ever seen him play," midfielder Jim Anderson said afterwards...

The spirit of Che synthesized all the ingredients of the New Left: an anti-American intellectual who galvanized the masses in one country and suffered glorious martyrdom in another. This vision of the radical's mission to redirect history made a somewhat turgid book called Revolution in the Revolution? a best seller. Feuer lists C. Wright Mills and Paul Goodman...
