There were other indications of growing impatience, both with wavering college presidents and radical student groups. At Cornell, the board of trustees ordered President James Perkins to implement a ten-point program that would protect the school against "tactics of terror." In Cambridge, a judge found all but four of 173 defendants guilty of criminal trespass during their occupation of a Harvard administration building last month.

...that end, the country's intellectuals are hardly as powerless as many claim to be. The U.S. still heeds the individual social critic who builds a powerful case. Michael Harrington's The Other America, for instance, was a key impetus for the poverty program. Other effective reformers abound-James Bryant Conant, John Gardner, Ralph Nader, Saul Alinsky and Daniel Moynihan, to cite a few. And who ever dreamed that Eugene McCarthy would do so well in the New Hampshire primary...
