Congressmen on the other side of the debate were equally vociferous. South Carolina Democrat L. Mendel Rivers, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called on the Administration to blast Hanoi off the map. Georgia Democrat Richard Russell, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, accused Lyndon Johnson of conduct "almost unseemly for the President of the U.S." for having "fluttered around" with peace feelers...

The students, many of them migrants from the rural South, were taught the achievements of their own race and of other minorities. Not only were they told how to conduct themselves in a job interview, a basic lesson other such courses sometimes overlooked; they were also instructed in the basic urban skills-shopping wisely, handling money, attending to personal hygiene and grooming...

Presently, many of them conduct non-credit seminars for undergraduates on public policy problems and policies. They also attend House lunch tables, and participate in other informal discussions. But they have not, as Neustadt explains with some regret, been brought into the existing Faculty study groups as fully as he'd like. Adam Yarmolinsky '43, professor and chairman of the Institute's Fellowships Committee, blamed this...
