...likes it or not--and most of them do not--the grade reform controversy is only the first skirmish in what promises to be an escalating conflict. Debate over educational issues will be followed soon by confrontation over political issues.

The moralistic disapproval of capitalism had carried over from the thirties, but the thrust was no longer socialistic. Socialism is mentioned rarely by the moderate wing of the SDS, and even then only awkwardly. The enemy is the system, not just the capitalist system. The New Left has picked up the alienation of the beat generation and combined it with political activism...
