Tom Hayden and Rennie Davis were among the founders of Students for a Democratic Society. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin typified the anarchistic yippies (Youth International Party). David Dellinger was a prominent pacifist; John Froines and Lee Weiner were antiwar academics. Bobby Scale was national chairman of the Black Panthers...
Russell's life was not studded with the events that fill history texts, the sweeping, panoramic strokes of dashing explorers and conquering generals.
