Thank you Mark...

There wasn't much remaining of SDS after 1969. If you mean BEFORE 69, 
to clarify: SDS wasn't that big on demos, but GENERALLY refrained from 
'better smaller but more militant' actions off campus. 

I think everyone appreciated that the hugeness of campus strikes was a major 
factor in the rise of radicalization. The idea that a mass demo with 
impure slogans was worse than none at all, came from fringes to the left of the 
bulk of SDS, who knew better, including the leaders, however naive.
