...project director," wild-haired Jerry Rubin, 29, a former Berkeley nonstudent leader, is an uncompromising radical. "We are now in the business of wholesale and wide spread resistance and dislocation of the American society," he proclaimed shortly before Dellinger's return from the Bratislava conference. Dellinger subsequently agreed that the aim of the Washington march would be to "shut down the Pentagon." Remembering the success that attended the Mob's peaceful antiwar marches last April, when 180,000 well-mannered dissidents in San Francisco and New York gave protest a more tolerable name, moderate members from the more...

Yet last week the U.S. verged on a backward march. Pending in the Senate were seven bills-the central one pompously called "the Orderly Trade Act of 1967"-that would establish stricter quotas on imports ranging from steel to strawberries, from textiles to goat meat. If enacted, the bills would set limits on $12 billion worth, or 50%, of total U.S. imports. Liberalized-trade advocates compared...
