Your fall 2014 edition Roundtable topic, “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself?” brought some thoughts to me. What did Jesus have to say about the subject? He was asked by a scribe, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Former IRS agent Janet Clark worked on her mystery novel with the help of Michael Caligaris, one of the M.F.A. He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, students who taught the course Document Your Life Story at the Lafayette Community Center. your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is anyone without loving God first?

  • WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #7 the 1968 Democratic National
    WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #7 The 1968 Democratic National Convention, held from August 26th through August 29th, was a very important event in the political and cultural history of the United States. Throughout 1967 and 1968 the antiwar movement in the nation grew more volatile at the same time that inner-city ghettos were seething with tension and exploding into flames. The historian Garry Wills wrote, “There was a sense everywhere, in 1968, that things were giving way. That man had not only lost control of his history, but might never regain it.” The primary cause of the demonstrations and the subsequent riots during the 1968 convention in Chicago was opposition to the Vietnam War. Young peace activists had met at a camp in Lake Villa, Illinois, on March 23 to plan a protest march at the convention. Antiwar leaders coordinated efforts with over 100 antiwar groups. These leaders included: David Dellinger, editor of Liberation Magazine and chairman of the National Mobilization Committee to End War in Vietnam; Rennie Davis, head of the Center for Radical Research and a leader of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); Vernon Grizzard, a draft resistance leader; and Tom Hayden, also a leader of the SDS. Other groups related to this effort also planned events. Jerry Rubin, a former associate of Dellinger, and Abbie Hoffman were both leaders of the Youth International Party, better known as the YIPPIES. These two men planned a Youth Festival with the goal of bringing over 100,000 young adults to Chicago. They tried to get a permit from Chicago to hold a YIPPIE convention.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Hadley Roff dated June 21, 2013. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
