...Faculty unanimously adopted a statement in opposition to the war in Vietnam and in support of draft resistance. "Accordingly," it read, "we are prepared to help bear the burdens of those who have been conscientiously led to extraordinary means of dissent." When Olimpieri took sanctuary on Sunday, Harvey G. Cox, associate professor of Church and Society, said he hoped the Faculty would "do something together." It didn...

The problem with a coalition or a caretaker regime is the division of key jobs, particularly those responsible for South Viet Nam's internal security, such as the Interior Ministry and the chiefs of police and defense. Whichever side got the key jobs would have a head start in influencing the outcome of any election and eventually ruling the country. Some analysts think that a solution might be found in the creation of an election commission in which...
