Foreign Correspondence

[Ace Hanlon]

Hayden -- for all his negatives -- still is much better than some other 1960s movement leaders.

I knew one time SDS leader Todd Gitlin as a teenager. He has since moved so far to the right that he is almost another person. Not a neo-con yet but more an Al Gore style liberal.

He has writen a number of books on mass media and protest politics and appears frequently on TV as an "expert" on these subjects. His message to the anti-war movement repeated over and over is to cool it and not take strong action -- lest they be branded as radicals like the 1960s protest movment was.
