...cars, set up barricades of uprooted paving stones, and fiercely battled police for control of the streets. The government at first used stern measures, sending thousands of police in waves to storm the barricades and beat the students to the ground with rubber truncheons. Then, alarmed by the growing toll of injuries, the government lost its resolve to smash the student revolt; it withdrew its police, and in effect ceded the field to the students. By that time, much of France had rallied to the students' side-and the spread of revolt began in earnest...
...transportation hub and fifth-largest city, to bring a revolting commander to heel. Nor is Mao's dream of a China holding hands in a single, beatific chanting chain any nearer. The many months of character assassination, chaos, instigated lawlessness and near civil war have taken a terrible toll on nearly every human, political and economic resource in China...

Mulling over the massive damage caused by black rioters on the city's West Side after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, Daley came to the conclusion that he had been badly let down by his police. The toll: 162 buildings gutted by arsonists, 22 more partially destroyed; 268 businesses and homes looted; $9,000,000 in property losses; eleven lives lost. Yet, of the 2,900 Negroes arrested, only 19 were charged with arson. Last week Daley's ire erupted with nationwide reverberations...
