...this freedom should also allow them to speak independently without "Meet the Press" cramcourses from Nixon's public relations men. The Administration is using the POWs to hide many truths--the dishonor of America's imperialism, the tentative quality of the so-called peace in Indochina, the misery of America's wounded, widowed, and orphaned, cutbacks in support programs for Vietnam veterans, unjustified legal barriers against the return of those who would not assist in U.S. genocide, and, ultimately, the trail of death and of indiscriminate destruction which we have blazed--and still carve--out of Southeast Asia today...

...hatred at the peak until election time, whatever the cost to the nation's children and to its laws." An editorial on the expanded bombing of Viet Nam: "The war that this country's government is waging now is war trivialized . . . and involves us all in the dishonor of killing in a cause we are no longer willing to die for." An article about the Nixon Administration's record on civil liberties, by Richard Harris: "No one can say that the President has willfully set out to undermine the Constitution that he swore to uphold...
