...mate, no realistic hope of occupying the White House. Yet there he is, running for President with the approval of perhaps a fifth or more of the electorate-no fewer than 13.5 million adult Americans. Not since Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party emerged in 1912 has a third party so seriously challenged the two-party system.

On the third day of the fall semester, Mark Rudd, the suspended campus leader of Students for a Democratic Society, showed up for registration, and a group of S.D.S. militants demonstrated against the university's "racist and militaristic policies." Later, a band of students scuffled briefly with campus police; 400 radicals broke into a campus building to hold an illegal rally, and gathered to chant slogans outside the university president's mansion.
