Slim Chance. The hastily scheduled meeting, Johnson made clear, betokened no military crisis or vital policy change. Rather, as suggested by its unprecedented emphasis on peaceful programs for the Vietnamese, the President's mission reflected his determination to continue what he calls his "two-fisted" approach to the war: a simultaneous attempt to wage the conflict with vigor while hoping to end it at the negotiating table. Johnson had resumed that now-familiar stance earlier in the week when he announced resumption of U.S. bombing of North Viet Nam while taking his peace offensive to the United Nations...
Finally, even if we began to approach victory in such a major war, we would still have to face the prospect of Chinese intervention and perhaps even significant Russian military aid to Hanoi. The Chinese have stated that they will send their armics into Vietnam if we violate, the territorial integrity of North Vietnam. China could never stand by if we were defeating Hanoi in an all-out war, and their entry would mean a huge, brutal, and impossible land war for the United States, as the Mansfield report recently argued...

He added that he had "toyed" with the idea that the United States should unilaterally declare itself first among the neutrals; but "in reality we do not need to go that far. The events of the next generation will doubtless do it for us." The mission of the American intellectual, as Hughes saw it, was to do what the Asians and Africans...
Here again the approach to this sort of religious activity differs as the duties of each United Minstry member differ.

Klein, for example, persuaded his church to finance a $500 group membership in the NAACP...
Mumma, however, is the prime mover in one approach to campus religion that has enjoyed some degree of student interest and participation. With no responsibilities to any parish or student group, Mumma has become somewhat of a roving agitator, encouraging groups all over the campus, both religious and non-religious, to involve themselves in the social issues of the day. With civil rights taking less of Mumma's time this year, he has helped found the Americans for Reappraisal of Far Eastern Policy chapter at Harvard and the multi-group effort to sponsor Vietnam teach-outs. Although the United Ministry...
