...peace plan the President reiterated in his talk-Vietnamization of the struggle according to a timetable he would not divulge-is consistent with this vision. American troops will continue to fight and die in Vietnam to avoid a "defeat" which so many have already acknowledged. And after our uncertain withdrawal, we will continue a costly program of aid to the South Vietnamese government and other reactionary Asian regimes at a time when money is so desperately needed to remedy domestic ills...
...worked in Viet Nam for almost two years. I had many good friends, Vietnamese and Americans, die there. I believe I can honestly say that I hate the war and wish it could stop now!

...same project also spawned the publication of a critical, hardly imperialist, book written by an African, the late George S. Mwase's Strike a Blow and Die: A Narrative of Race Relations in Colonial Africa (1967). The Center has indulged, supported, even cossetted this kind of scholarly inquiry: indeed, if Hyland wants to blow his mind, he is welcome to read the galley proofs of a 1500-page book, soon to be on the radicalized newsstands, called Power and Protest in Black Africa. It follows the course of anti-colonial and anti-neo-colonial agitation in Africa from...
