...costs down, the girls-Valerie White, 21, Joan Southwell, 20, Christine French, 17, Carol Ann Fry, 16, and Brenda Mumford, 15-volunteered to work 30 minutes extra a day without any additional pay. In most countries such a gesture would have attracted scant attention. In Britain, whose economic difficulties stem as much as anything from an "I'm all right, Jack" attitude among its workers, the girls became heroines overnight...

The group took pains to establish the authenticity of the material. Besides the verification of Che's handwriting, the fact that there was so much of it was reassuring. "How did they have time to fight?" wondered Parade...
...forces at work in the United States as a whole. It is also, I would like to suggest, a situation that has a good many parallels in recent and not so recent history. For reasons that are often a matter of debate among historians, and that certainly do not stem simply from economic privation, more and more people on certain occasions have come to feel that they have legitimate grievances against a system of law and order under which they can find no redress. As pressures build up in this fashion, individuals and groups of individuals are likely to break...
