"Ten people were arrested, and standoffs defined the first day as Hayakawa attempted to reopen the college. A day later, nine were injured and 31 arrested. The Dec. 4 Chronicle headline called it the 'worst day yet.' Hayakawa, for his part, stood strong in his convictions: 'I want to make it clear to everyone that I will break up this reign of terror.'"
Bill Van Niekerken at the San Francisco Chronicle marks the fiftieth anniversary of the 1968-1969 student strike at San Francisco State College, the longest student strike in American history.
And C-SPAN hosts a talk about the strike by historian William Issel.
