Looking beyond Viet Nam and the "honorable settlement" that both Nixon and Humphrey have called for, what of the future? Nixon does not disagree with Humphrey's argument that the U.S. "cannot play the role of global gendarme." But neither man clearly explains just how the U.S. should defend its foreign allies and interests. To draw a specific perimeter of defense would obviously encourage aggressors to grab anything on the other side of the line.

...Fourth Commando Brigade. Commanded by nine white mercenaries, the Fourth spent the first three months of the year operating behind Nigerian lines. Later, it held sectors on the Western front but, outgunned and outmanned by the federals, was forced to retreat.

It was, said the A.C.L.U. attorney, "repressive of the most fundamental freedoms of speech and assembly"; it attempts to punish by legislation without giving its intended victims "a modicum of procedures to defend themselves." In an amicus curiae memorandum, the Justice Department indirectly supported the A.C.L.U.'s case. It said that the Communist Control Act barred the party but not individual Communists from the ballot...
