Troubled Waters. President Johnson can hardly overestimate the depth or complexity of the problem. Once he was able to mobilize a conscience-strick en nation behind civil rights measures designed to right long-standing wrongs. Now, after four summers of holocausts in the nation's largest cities, concern over the Negro's welfare has been largely replaced by consternation at the prospect of anarchy. Nothing more dramatically underscored this shift than the total silence that greeted Johnson's State of the Union plea for several "vital" civil rights laws covering fair jury trials, enforcement of equal-employment...
Bolts on the Door. The President's concern with lawlessness was further emphasized by the First Lady. At a White House luncheon for 50 women "doers" that was disrupted by an outburst by Eartha Kitt, she declared that it would be all too easy to "take the lazy path by merely sounding the alarm and putting extra bolts on our door."

Even vociferous political demonstrations are not without precedent or usefulness. "Bringing students of this persuasion back to reality," may, as Pusey says, present a challenge to the Faculty, though some at least...
...boots, socks, shorts, and--hold on--an M-3 45 cal. machine gun and 2 clips of ammunition, something that looks like an auto mechanic's grease gun and, in fact, is called a grease gun. I declined everything except the repellent but I was genuinely touched by his concern for my safety. We exchanged APO addresses and agreed to take an R&R together sometime...
