...were they? Most were college students, but their politics varied. They included antiwar protesters and radicals who believed that the present political system must be shouted (and broken) down. Others were dissenting moderates, trying to goad candidates to speak more explicitly on the issues...
...deliberately disruptive. Humphrey tried to ignore his tormentors, then to outtalk them, with uneven success. Nixon developed elaborate techniques to thwart hecklers. At indoor rallies, his aides often refused to admit unkempt students or others who looked like troublemakers. If shouting started, a soundman turned up the p.a. system to earsplitting level.

Then De Gaulle noticed that his interpreter had got ahead of him. Nudging the man, De Gaulle growled, "I did not say that." Finally, the Turkish security police were no match for rampaging photographers, one of whom got his camera within two feet of the general's nose during the playing of the Marseillaise...
