...life to lose for my country." For many Americans, who through the years thought that a rather wonderful thing to say, it is even harder to believe that today so many young men chant a new anthem: "Hell, no, we won't go!" Indeed, the phenomenon of bitter antiwar protest reflects profound changes in U.S. attitudes toward patriotism-an emotion once proudly shouted from the rooftops but now seldom even discussed.

...addition to Dow and the CIA, a tempting target for antiwar protesters is Government-sponsored secret research carried out on many university campuses. In response to faculty protests, the University of Pennsylvania recently canceled its contracts with the Defense Department to study chemical and biological warfare. The Universities of Pittsburgh and Minnesota are debating similar action; Stanford and N.Y.U. have applied severe restrictions to such work.

The CNCV could count on only about fifteen percent of Cambridge to vote against the war. The great hope was with the undecided...
After the polls close Tuesday, the total number of ballots cast on the antiwar petition will be counted--face down so as not to reveal the results. The ballots will then be sealed and sent to a bank vault. Representatives of CNCV and veterans' groups opposing the petition will accompany the ballots to and from the bank to assure that no tampering occurs...
