...tragic assassination of Senator Kennedy than are the many responsible citizens who happen to be sportsmen and gun owners [June 21]. I have seen firearms used for good (yes, even against fellow man), as well as for evil; but I have not as yet laid blame (or credit) to the gun. It is interesting to ponder if the emotion of the moment will bring on a joust with windmills, and whether the result will provide a catharsis for the guilt complex of a nation in turmoil...
...last hope of the poor and oppressed. Doesn't anyone remember the man in the White House, who not only pushed through reams of legislation for these people, but more important, made complacent, middle-class whites aware of the fact that those people even existed? Please, credit where credit...
Actually, the critics have not been exactly on target in attacking Warren, for the Chief Justice is only one of nine men, with only one of nine votes. "Warren should get neither the blame nor the credit," says Harry Kalven Jr., a law professor at the University of Chicago. "Both the great achievements and the non-achievements of an institution are collective."

In fact, no Chief Justice has come close to dominating the court...
Plainly, the President will need a brand-new scenario, and some of the ideas tossed around would do credit to DeMille. Why not fly off, after the November election, to Africa?

A final fling in Asia, L.BJ.'s personal preserve, and then a philosophic valedictory designed to galvanize the nation into thinking about its duties at home and abroad...
...Department of Agriculture did dissolve into a sit-in on Independence Avenue and a bottle-throwing fracas with police outside the shanty city. Arrests: 87. Even so, by toning down his demands to include those things that are within reach and by exaggerating his successes-he claims credit for several actions that the Administration would probably have taken anyway-Abernathy has also left open the door to retreat. Thus the marchers can leave with some claim to victory, though, sad to say, it is mostly illusory...
