...Saxon Protestants have a five-year subscription to Reader's Digest and National Geographic, high colonies and arthritis, silver-rimmed spectacles, punched-out bellies and that air of controlled schizophrenia which is the merit badge for having spent one's life on Main Street.

We do not question his veracity; the fact that there is fundamental agreement between the CEP resolution and the recommendations of the Army ROTC Instructor Group by no means implies collusion. On the contrary, it seems rather irresponsible of the CEP to have ignored the wealth of factual material in that elaborate memo, and in fact highly insulting to the ROTC instructors who must have spent months compiling the documents...
