...exception of strategic goods, such as armaments and fissionable materials, the U.S. should drop its trade embargo, which makes little sense now that U.S. allies like Japan, West Germany, Britain and France are trading with the mainland. The Chinese regard the mere existence of the embargo as a hostile act; its removal could be interpreted as a conciliatory gesture. In view of China's limited industrial capabilities and shortage of foreign exchange, such trade would be modest in any case-perhaps up to $10 million a year initially, rising to possibly $100 million after five years...
...medical profession has had two years, from May, 1967, to May, 1969, to clean house: to take up generic prescribing and rid itself of unhealthy financial ties to the drug industry but has failed to act.

Instead, the situation is one where those opposed to the war, and now even more opposed to those aspects of American society they hold responsible for the war, feel a moral compulsion to act in ways that others regard as merely criminal. Faculty and students fall on both sides of this moral and political dividing line, though not of course in equal numbers. A rule that prohibits the resort to force and violence on the university campus cannot possibly satisfy the moral revolutionaries. They would...
