In the late 1960s the ''Guardian'' develops stronger links with [[Students for a Democratic Society]] (SDS) and the [[Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee]] (SNCC) and other [[leftist]] radicals.  By the end of 1969 its paid readership was 24,000, the highest since the aftermath of the Wallace campaign in 1948. <ref>Chronology of Political Events, 1954-1992 [http://www.revolutionintheair.com/chron/chron2.html Part Two, 1967-1970].</ref>

==Break with Maoists==

==Break with Maoists==

In 1975 a break between the Maoist October League (OL) and the ''Guardian'' led to bitter private meetings and internal staff struggles. An exchange of public [[polemic]]s on foreign policy and the International Women’s Day actions/”no united action with [[deviationism|revisionist]]s” line finally prompted the OL to pulls its cadre out of the staff. Renee Blakkan, Martin Nicolaus, Nancy Nikcevich and Rod Such resigned; [[Carl Davidson]] was also associated with the OL position but did not resign at this time.<ref>[http://www.revolutionintheair.com/chron/chron4.html Chronology of Political Events, Part Four 1975-1980.] Max Elbaum.
