Dick Flacks and Tom Hayden deserve thanks for their warm, rich
memorialization of the Port Huron Statement. Yet their memories are at
fault in a bibliographic detail: They say, "the statement was never
marketed or even reissued as a book. It was produced only as a
full-sheet mimeographed pamphlet in 20,000 copies, which sold for 35
cents." The first printing was indeed of this quantity, and
mimeographed. The second printing was again of 20,000 copies, but was
printed by offset, in smaller format (wraps, with cover, side-stapled),
by SDS in 1964. The third printing by SDS was in the same format, in
1966; I don't know the quantity, but I expect this was at least as large
as previously. The Stgatement has since been reprinted, with some
introductory matter, by Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company in 1990, in
both hard and soft cover. For such details and availability, one may
