MICHAEL W. DUNLOP St. Louis Sir: TIME should take with the proverbial grain of salt the statements of critics as well as protagonists on Viet Nam. For example, you cite Lieut. Colonel Corson as having me proudly announce "the distribution of 150,000 more tons of fertilizer in five northern provinces in 1967, failing to mention that the region's rice production fell by 150,000 tons during the same period...
...packed up a knapsack and set out on an 18-month trek through Europe, the Middle East and Asia. One of his adventures: he swam the Bosporus. Returning to Quebec, Trudeau fought against the decrepit, reactionary regime of Provincial Premier Maurice Duplessis.

He concluded that, given "sufficient motivation or provocation," it makes no difference whether a gun is handy?if not, the offender "would use a knife to stab or fists to beat his victim to death." But Wolfgang has since modified that view...

He can and does quickly cite Paul Doty's special committee on the future of General Education at Harvard, whose report three years ago surprised many people, and led to extended Faculty debate and alterations--unlike the usual Faculty rubber stamp of committee recommendations...
