...Senate, Idaho Democrat Frank Church declared that Viet Nam is "a war we cannot finish," called for a settlement guaranteed by the United Nations or a special peace-keeping force. North Dakota Democrat George McGovern said his mail has been running 15 to 1 for negotiations, said: "It is not appeasement to recognize that the problem of Southeast Asia does not lend itself to a military solution...

To call for negotiations now, said Connecticut Democrat Thomas Dodd, would be like urging that "Churchill enter into negotiations with the Germans at the time of Dunkirk or that President Truman enter into negotiations with the Communists when we stood with our backs to the sea in the Pusan perimeter."

...Harvard tutor, a staunch Democrat, likes to call it the "Ripley Society." "I don't know whether to believe them or not," he explains. And why should he? The idea of a group of Harvard men forming the core of a Republican group seems to contradict the very core of the conventional wisdom.
