...does not so much as hint at this possibility. The phrasing of the statement, in fact, leads one to suspect that in the eyes of its signers, communism is the worst of all evils, the elimination of which justifies almost any amount of cruelty: "putting the matter succinctly," they applaud American policy in Southeast Asia for having "bought time for some 200 million people to develop without their being ceaselessly confronted with combined external-internal Communist threats of growing proportions." There is not the slightest suggestion that the Vietnamese people might just possibly prefer the NLF to the rule...
...quit," says Hope, "I'd fall apart." He tends to get sick on vacations, though he does go fishing about once a year. It's hardly any fun, he complains, "the fish don't applaud." His stamina comes from golf, a lot of walking and a lot of working. He'll launch into an old soft-shoe step while on the phone, sleeps irregularly but can cork off for a few seconds any old time.

A better pro prospect, say some scouts, is Alabama's Ken ("Snake") Stabler, who is 3 in. taller than Beban, completed 60% of his passes...
...liberals, social engineers and all those people who want to tell the rest of us how to live." Knowing his audiences, which were tuned up by straw-hatted California belles, he turned in effective, skillfully orchestrated performances. His trouble in California, however, is that many of the conservatives who applaud his views would probably wind up by voting for Governor Ronald Reagan in the presidential primary...
