...extremely obscene language was a contributing factor to the violence" and "its frequency and intensity were such that to omit it would inevitably understate the effect it had." Since the report is otherwise couched largely in the turgid prose common to bureaucracy, the insertion of so many pungent Anglo-Saxon expletives relating to or synonymous with copulation creates a surrealistic effect...
...Paris talks began on May 10, U.S. diplomats in Saigon have kept President Thieu informed about the issues under discussion. Aware of South Viet Nam's sensitivity about Viet Cong representation, the U.S. suggested to the North a proposal Secretary of State Dean Rusk described as a practical "Anglo-Saxon approach."

The fact that indiscriminate shooting in a few of the riots, particularly Newark and Detroit, killed innocent citizens is forgotten, and the fact that police gunfire can prolong and worsen the initial...
Some of my best friends are the sons of liberal white Anglo-Saxon Protestants, though they haven't learned their lessons as well as we have. If Dean Watson is looking for radicals, he should look to them, for they still think it is safe to speak one's conscience in this country. Watson must only hope they will finally learn the true lesson of the American Experience under the Nixon-Humphrey-Wallace administration. Nicholas C. Arguimbau...
