...with our invited guests. So when three out of five speakers refused our invitations and with no hope that the University was intending to protect the rights of the remaining two speakers we decided to cancel our program. Also Miss Day was correct in alleging that we did not discuss "protection" as such with the University. But indeed we did discuss the prevention of a recurrence of the disruption with Professor Cox. As Miss Day knows, when the University refused us the right to check bursar's cards at our second Counter Teach-In and when it refused...
...exchanges with both sides, Rogers noted barely perceptible signs of give. The Egyptians indicated that the military force on the east bank need not be terribly large. In a second, two-hour-and-50-minute discussion with Mrs. Meir, Rogers was told that Israel might not object if nonmilitary Egyptians crossed the canal; there were hints that policemen might be considered nonmilitary.

This statement is very different from your lead quote, "Moral issues in the Vietnamese war are beside any point...
...thing the play hits hardest is crass commercialism and sensationalism. Before being hung, each criminal announces that the really true and honest account of his life is available only from Applebee's, Two entrepreneurs discuss the advertising possibilities of a pair of Sheppard's pants. But this production relies not on satire but rather on slapstick and exaggerated characterization for most of its comic effect, Through gesture, expression, and phrasing, Senelick pushes his stuff up through the curtain call...
