Who's In Control Teach-In
The finding aid follows the order of sessions or panels of the teach-in as extracted from the outlines, schedules, and tape labels. The summaries of speaker remarks included in the finding aid came from the "rough outline of speakers" which can be found in the first folder. Sessions generally stretched over two or three tapes. There is usually a small overlap on the continuation tape, though on occasion it appears a small portion of a talk may have been missed. The tapes and derivatives are identified as part 1, 2 or 3 of a session. The scope and content note for each session indicates the part(s) on which each speaker appears. The quoted descriptions of the sessions are taken from notes that accompanied the tapes
