Scope and Contents

" ... First of all, one would have to say about dissent in academia that it came up very suddenly on the student's side, and I think much of that was due to the concern of students about poverty in the midst of affluence, about the slow progress in achieving civil rights for the minority members of our communities - blacks, Chicanos, Indians, women - women are not a minority, of course, but they are treated like one at times; and also and primarily I guess, the war, the draft and the fact that while the young people of this country were very much against war, they were the ones that had to go out and fight it and get killed and wounded in doing so. - 2nd page."
