The dialogue between the Old and New Left during the past decade has resulted less in reconciliation than in rupture. This process has made quite clear and explicit the chief differences between the two movements, which are only roughly divided along generational lines. The differences discussed here are of four general kinds: (a) social roots and orientations, (b) political positions, (c) strategy and tactics, and (d) representative personalities and forums. References are made to the other articles in this issue where they fit into the schematic contrast here presented.
