...frightening to think that supposedly intelligent leaders of our country are willing (Bishop Sheen) to pull out of Viet Nam altogether and risk a terrible bloodbath [Aug. 11].

"inattentive to details once cared about," "insensitive to the feelings of others and oversensitive to their own," "previously belligerent" but currently "pathetically sweet and placid," and "at times . . . completely cut off from reality." You have identified the malady afflicting those in contemporary "hippiedom." They are suffering from senility...
