...anyone who was at University Hall that morning, Harnett's testimony must seem nothing short of ludicrous. A picket line of at least 300 students blocked off that building in one of the loudest and most spirited protests Harvard has ever seen. As Rebecca Scott '71, a member of the Strike Steering Committee, testified at the trial, "It was clear that what was happening at University Hall was not just a bunch of people milling around, but an organized demonstration." And in addition to her testimony, two members of SDS testified that Ryan could not have been at the protest...
Such conventional wisdom is eroded by the attention paid student radicals and is sometimes swept away entirely by dramatic events like the outpourings of campus protest following the U.S. intervention in Cambodia and the Kent and Jackson State student killings last spring. With the demonstrations came fervent pledges from thousands of students to work this fall for liberal and antiwar congressional candidates. The most heavily publicized and widely considered proposal was adopted by Princeton University, which rescheduled its semesters to give students two weeks off before the election for campaigning...
Sonny is black. The kind of music he creates is a blend of jazz and gospel, with a glossy Stan Kenton sound and a chorus singing Sonny's simple lyrics-about peace and freedom, with a little protest thrown in.

Labor protest intensified considerably, and Premier Bourassa promised that 100,000 new jobs would be created by 1971. The provincial government stepped up its prosecution of suspected FLQ terrorists; one man whom police arrested, Pierre-Paul Geoffroy, pleaded guilty to 120 incidents of bombing in order to prevent the authorities from prosecuting others in the FLQ for those incidents. Geoffroy is now serving a 12,000-year sentence in a Quebec jail...
