Cover illustration: Anti-draft demonstration in Boston on October 16, 1967. On that date, more than 1,200 men in 30 cities committed felonies by publicly burning their draft cards. This was the first nationally coordinated event sponsored by the Resistance, which deliberately sought to invoke the French Resistance to the Nazis during World War II (see Chapter 7).
