...fight injustices at home, not to "shoot peasants in Viet Nam"?an argument, of course, that is not the exclusive insight of youth. Some students have thus concluded that going to prison as a protest against the draft is a sacrificial act by which one "votes" his own concept of duty to country. Last week more than 100 Woodrow Wilson Fellows from across the nation said that they would not fight. As Stanford Senior Hugh West sees it: "Jail is where patriotism and morality intersect...

Washington hopes to convince him that, whatever happens in Viet Nam and whoever is elected President, the U.S. can scarcely afford to back away from either its network of alliances or its military deployment in Asia...
