...sentences reading, "Last spring, however, Pusey unexpectedly decided to get involved. He had just received outraged letters from . . . Crick and Wilkins . . .," are at best misleading. The letters from Crick and Wilkins, which caused President Pusey's concern, arrived in the late fall of 1966. I, as director of the Press, was immediately informed; I was kept in constant touch with the correspondence; and there was nothing unexpected about the President's decision to intervene. He considered the matter one of overall University policy; I think he was right in so viewing it, though I completely and emphatically disagree with...
Because Seoul's prime concern is the infiltration of terrorists from the North, Washington's preoccupation with Pueblo caused friction between the U.S. and South Korea. After a spate of Korean protest demonstrations, editorials and official statements, the U.S. dispatched Troubleshooter Cyrus Vance to Seoul as a special presidential emissary empowered to discuss the "grave threat" from the North. In addition, Johnson went out of his way to laud "this steadfast ally" when he made his request for special military aid to South Korea. By week's end the handholding operation appeared to have been successful...

The Montreal Council to Aid War Resisters will clear up border disputes and lead Americans through immigration forms...
Pusey went on to exclude from his epithets those "sincerely concerned about the war" and participate in "orderly demonstrations." He also disastrously underestimates the depth of support for the Dow demonstration. Six hundred bursar's cards were turned in, and 300 students participated. Is this the tiny minority Pusey characterizes it as being? Pusey does, however, recognize the extent to which the University is involved in the outside world: He notes students' "concern for the outside world and...desire to use knowledge for social as well as individual good." He would do well to recognize also the Selective Service System...
