...call Esalen President Michael Murphy "no far out cultist"; yet his "sensitivity training," aimed at getting people to "let go of an excessively verbal image of themselves" [Sept. 29], appears to be merely a rationalization of the hippie syndrome tidied up a little to make it acceptable to middle-class escapists. This technique relegates the mind to second place and glorifies "feelings," the most primitive standard for reacting to others. Perhaps cuddling in "hero sandwiches" 35 people deep sounds appetizing to you; it seems like a lot of baloney...
...Kentucky's Thruston Morton pulled the lanyards on Lyndon. Last week Kentucky's John Sherman Cooper renewed his demand for an "unconditional cessation" of U.S. bombing against the North; Massachusetts' Edward Brooke, a dove turned mild hawk, seemed ready to change feathers again with a call for a bombing pause; and Illinois' Charles Percy, who has frequently voiced discontent over Viet Nam before, got 22 colleagues to cosponsor a resolution asking the President to insist Asia's non-Communist nations share more of the fighting with...

...make a rare, one-man visit to the Thai bases. "But I couldn't strike a SAM site because it was near a harbor. We lost two planes as a result." The hottest, most heavily defended area, of course, is the 60 sq. mi. surrounding Hanoi; American pilots call it "the Barrel." "You just develop tunnel vision," says Captain Richard E. Guild, 27, "and simply go right in." Pilots have only 20 or 30 seconds to lay their bombs on target, and they cannot afford to think about anything else...
...catch is, of course, that Wilson is most unlikely to call elections much before his present term expires in 1971. By then, he hopes that Britain's economy-and his popularity-will have revived. In the meantime, his problem of riding out the storm is made easier by the fact that the opposition has proved unable to produce a leader who could capitalize on his failures. Tory Chief Ted Heath has proved to be so ineffectual and lackluster that only 35% of Britons rate him as doing a good job. No matter how unpopular a course...
