...short time later," the finding of fact alleges, "Mr. Berg seized Dean Watson from behind by grabbing both of his upper arms, and he pushed Dean Watson from the building against Dean Watson's wishes and resistance by propelling him through one of the exterior doors of the building and into a crowd of people who were gathered on the steps...
Many studies have shown that the majority of student activists come from upper-middle-class families of liberal stripe. In a survey of 50 student activists at the University of Chicago last year, Sociologist Richard Flacks found that their parents tended to be highly permissive, intellectual and well-educated; 45% were Jewish (TIME, May 3, 1968).

Besides the OEO grant, it gets some money from foundations-used mostly to pay staggering travel expenses. It is housed in a refurbished Columbia University apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side, and its full-time professional staff is composed of only eight young lawyers (average age 28).

Albert, who earns $17,000 a year, went to Yale Law School, clerked...
