Light. Only twice last week did McGovern abandon his slashing attacks on Nixon to set forth some proposals of his own. In New York, he detailed a program for combating crime with gun-control laws, additional foot patrolmen, tenant patrols, a "national light-the-streets" plan and other ideas. In Cleveland he turned to foreign policy (see following story). This week, in a half-hour national television address, he will spell out his specific plan for getting the U.S. out of Viet Nam.

Perhaps to abandon our allies in Asia without regard for their future is not the moral course but the expedient one. Doubtless thousands of students disagree with this analysis, but to refuse it they must apply more argument to the problem rather than pious phrases to placards. Clark Kerr put it well: "what...
