"we are for people's power or as one of our brothers in Berkeley
put it ‘soulful socialism,' In the past few years our numbers
= - have grown from hundreds to millions of young people. Our
| conspiracy has grown more militant. Flower children have lost
their innocence and grown their thorns. We have recognized
that our culture in order to survive must be defended.
- Furthermore we have realized that the revolution is more than
digging rock or turning on. The revolution is about coming
together in a struggie for change. It is about the destruction
of a system based on bosses and competition and the building
of a new community based on people and cooperation, That old
system is dying all around us and we Joyously come out in the
mre streets to dance on its grave. With our free sores, liberated
woe buildings, communes, people's parks, dope, free bodies and
our music, we'l] build our society in the vacant lots of the
01d and we'll do it by any means necessary."

News Service, News Packet Number 215, dated December 3, 1909 SRY
On page 15 of this News Packet, there appears an
article by the subject entitled "Violence and the Commuter
Protest", which stated in part as follows:
“Phe swarm of. people massed around the Washington
Monument to protest the war in Vietnam left a lot to be
desired, In size it was probably the sane if not a bit less
than the multitude that marched on the UN in the spring of
1967. If it proved anything, it proved that mass trans-
portation was improving and people's consciousness about
flying down to Washington to rally was about the same
decision as to get on the subway and whiz up to Central
Park. Our subways have grown wings.
