Occasionally, some of them take the step. They become so disgusted, so repulsed by the repressive and racist system that they make the complete break. They become committed radicals. For some, the march on the Pentagon did the trick. For others, it was Chicago. For some of us, it was a gradual series of things. But for many, it hasn't come yet. They still sit back, worry about their grades, talk about how bad the system is and how against the war they are. Many of them belong to SDS and are the ones who help give...
...regime's decision to grant the Greek people a constitution, no matter how flimsy it is. Yet Greek people are desperately afraid that the document will be hailed the world over as a step towards democracy.

In 1964, when the CBS news rating fell off, the panic-stricken network jettisoned him between conventions. This year, keeping on a "low-residue diet, a trick I learned from the astronauts," and forsaking his pipe to keep his throat moist, Cronkite stayed on top of the story all week. He constantly re-queried his field men when he thought they did not question pungently enough. He got off his share of quips. He correctly forecast, for example, that the nominating speech for Senator...
