...intricate and, at times, vicious gossip game which has long been a part of the Cambridge-Washington circuit. Since last May-when a dozen senior Faculty members visited the White House for an on-the-record conversation with Kissinger in which they denounced the President's decision to invade Cambodia-one of the most publicly effective objections to national policy has been the opposition of Kissinger's most eminent colleagues. But within government and Washington society, one of Kissinger's most potent weapons is a widespread impression that Harvard really doesn't want him back, that academia is discriminating against...
...time of Cambodia, Kissinger refused to correct publicly the false rumor that the visiting Faculty members implied to him that he would never again teach at Harvard if he did not move to reverse the President's policy. A number of observers, in fact, have suggested that Kissinger-a highly insecure man-may in a moment of rashness have started that rumor himself. And last Fall, numerous complaints by Kissinger that he was not even being invited back to Cambridge to give a speech are reported to have spurred the Institute of Politics to host him for an informal briefing...
...killers over to nail the coonskin to the wall. Johnson organized us as effectively as any antiwar campaign, for his defiant cowboy style would admit no doubts or hopes for respite: he intended to win no matter how many are killed or who might protest.

If he told the people what he intended to do they would get angry; so, instead, he lied, couching plans for victory in the rhetoric of withdrawal, calling mass murder a decrease in the level of action...
Coming out of Viet Nam means removing all American combat and support forces-land, sea and air-from South Viet Nam, and ending air operations, carrier-based or Thailand-based, over Viet Nam, Laos, Cambodia. The U.S. should continue supplying military equipment to South Viet Nam, as it does to twelve other countries, and could maintain a small military advisory group there, perhaps a few thousand men. It is true that this leaves the North Vietnamese with no need to negotiate to get us out. Over the years, however, they have shown very little interest in negotiating no matter what...
...today can be traced directly to the complicity of Americans. Last April, for example, a Vietnamese minister asked a U.S. aid official to sign an export permit for 22,000 tons of copper (price: $1,000 a ton), claiming the copper came from generator wiring picked up in Cambodia. The official signed the paper, thereby testifying that the copper did not consist of brass casings. The Criminal Investigations Division decided otherwise; it confiscated the shipment and arranged for the aid man to be transferred...
