...though such drastic measures so far seem unlikely, the Big Four would accomplish a lot if they achieved unity among themselves. But the results of last week's proceeding in the Security Council were hardly encouraging. As they have done for months, Russia and France both voted to condemn Israel for an airstrike on Jordan while taking no note whatsoever of the raids from Jordan that provoked the Israeli retaliation. The U.S. and Britain? They abstained...
...lines, where violence and walkouts were everyday occurrences in the old days of union organization, a determined band of black radicals has posed a new threat. They have overturned production schedules with picket lines and some assaults on foremen. Victims include more moderate Negroes, who nevertheless do not openly condemn the militants. Both union and management leaders are concerned that the black protest movement will grow and cause more widespread damage...
...police, they gave us the chance to have a taste of what outside society (might we call it the "real world"?) is like; we had a slight exposure to the suffering that black men, or coal miners, or striking factory workers, or draftees face every day. Rather than condemn the University administration, I think we should actually be grateful to them for giving us perhaps the most valid educational experience we could have had during all our years here.

...condemn the protesters' violent methods is not necessarily to condemn their aims, and certainly not other forms of protest. The U.S. has its share of injustice and rigid institutions that at times do seem beyond reach of normal, peaceful change. Pseudo-revolutionary activity sometimes does bring results. Often it has a shock value that awakens complacent citizens to their responsibilities. The very intensity of radical word and deed communicates a desperate message to less tormented souls. No doubt the uprising at Columbia University finally jolted the administration into an awareness of legitimate student grievances and may well result...
