...grown to a real national organization with about 500 members. A year and a half later, summer 1964, the strength of community organizing as a tactic had gained general acceptance among the nation's activists. That summer SDS started the Economic Resistance into Action Project (ERAB) in Boston, Newark, Cleveland, Baltimore and Chicago. About 150 radicals worked full time to organize ghettos on unemployment, rent, and welfare considerations...

New York's Senator Jacob Javits called on President Johnson to deliver an "extraordinary State of the Union message" to resolve American doubts and dissent over the war.

In mid-Manhattan, not far from an A. & P. supermarket where shoppers buy regular-size cigarettes at 39? a pack, conventioneers visiting the Big Town can pay the big price at the New York Hilton newsstand-52? for nonfilter regulars, 53? for other kinds-and get some big lip too. "Because that's what we charge!" jeers the counterman at anyone who questions...
