...into the air, their targets known only to them as a set of map coordinates, they kill by proxy for Nixon and Kissinger, and not for us or for the people who wrote the letters to Mayor Ackermann. We, along with the letter writers and the majority of dovish Americans, share with the people of Indochina the same powerless relationship to the American government. In our protests we have tried to make this clear. We find the notion of lobbying our supposed representatives in Washington laughable, for they are almost as powerless as we: the Gulf of Tonkin resolution--passed...
MODIGLIANI defines socio-economic status (SES) in terms of four variables--education, occupation, race, and standard of living. He found higher SES to be positively associated with a greater rejection of disengagement from Korea, while the lower socio-economic strata were distinctly more "dovish" in the sense of being more amenable to disengagement...
...interest Huntington's detractors at Harvard to learn that he is considered, by Washington's standards, "dovish" or "soft" on Vietnam. This does not mean that he favors either total or unilateral withdrawal from the war; in fact, Huntington consistently argues that, as he put it in a subsequent study, "much of our grief in Vietnam has come as a result of our not becoming deeply enough involved in Vietnamese politics," whereas the crucial assumption of a unilateral withdrawal policy is that Washington must renounce any role in the internal political life of the Vietnamese.

In his 1970 race against Albert Gore, Brock carried the youth vote by a 2-to-l margin, despite Gore's dovish stance on the Viet Nam War.

He is co-chairman of the Congressional Advisory Council for the Youth Division, and his former campaign manager, Kenneth Rietz, 30, is director of the Youth Division. With Brock on the advisory committee...
...purposes; the U.S. Government almost runs on calculated leaks. Many important state papers, classified as secret, have been passed surreptitiously to favored members of the press. The Yalta Conference papers were one example, the Gaither report on national defense another. Just last week, a Defense Department study on the dovish side was leaked to the Washington Post. It revealed that the multiple warheads on the Soviet S59 intercontinental missile lack the accuracy to destroy U.S. ICBMs in a surprise attack. Once they leave Government service, innumerable officials bring out memoirs bristling with once-classified material intended to put the author...
