...authors awkwardly refer to them, steered SDS for four years, eventually fading from prominence when their theories failed to translate into long-term success with projects such as ERAP. A new, non-Jewish psychological type grabbed the reins and evolved into what the authors call the rigid authoritarian rebel": all of the protean's hang-ups, minus his respect for intellectual matters and his adherence to non-violent tactics. Total immersion in anti-war protest became inevitable after the huge U.S. troop deployments of 1965 and intensification of the draft, say Rothman and Lichter, and the New Left became...

But in the view of many U.S. analysts, the rebels are beginning to sound more conciliatory because they know that the Salvadoran government, under U.S. pressure, is inching toward a proposal of its own for political reconciliation. The initial step would be for Provisional President Alvaro Magaña to name a peace commission that would be instructed to look for a way to include leftists in the presidential and municipal...
