At a Queens political dinner, Aurelio said: "Those of us who believe deeply in John Lindsay have adopted the slogan: 'We'd rather switch than fight.'

Instead, they sat behind slogan-painted banners and shouted "Profits" and "American capitalism" and similar consciousness raisers at every available opportunity. When they started chanting "Let SDS speak," Michael Walzer, the moderator, appealed to the audience and easily discredited the disrupters. The crowd was hardly pro-SDS. Similarly, towards the end of the evening, Walzer was able to defuse a questioner who tried to bring up the question of support to Israel. With...
