"The Power of Protest: How the Vietnam War Was Stopped."
It would have been interesting to hear the ISO's spin on this. Standard activist line that the peace movement stopped the war? A long ode to the SDS and socialist groups?
As everybody knows, the Vietnam War ended several years after the protests died out. This is an uncomfortable fact that activists want to ignore, because it shows how difficult it is to stop the U.S. war machine with thousands of people waving signs.

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free..." ---Utah Phillips
