...VIET NAM. Though the U.S. is deeply and painfully embroiled in Viet Nam, the Southeast Asian war has yielded scant prospect of benefit for Moscow either. Kosygin and Communist Boss Leonid Brezhnev, reversing Khrushchev's policy of noninvolvement in Southeast Asia, began aiding Hanoi early in 1965, when a Viet Cong victory seemed imminent. Large-scale U.S. intervention thwarted their hopes of a quick, cheap victory and exposed Russia to the charge that it will retreat from its involvement in any war of national liberation if the stakes get too high...
Lacerated Arguments. Dodd made little headway against the campaign-fund charge.

There they get the additional benefit of Crusade-sponsored lectures on juvenile law and crime by half a dozen police officers who tour the schools. The Crusaders also work with youths paroled from detention homes and sponsor seminars on shoplifting for merchants...
...priority of call would be on notice that two years' service probably awaited them at age twenty-one and a strict denial of dependency exemption at age twenty-one would not then involve significant hardship. This arrangement would substantially eliminate the issue of college-student deferment: and it would benefit the college student by letting him know at age nineteen the likelihood that he would be called at twenty-one, so that he could make his own choice whether to complete college before or after military service...
