...induction-refusal movement. One assumes that the government could not tolerate the tremendous anti-war moral tide unless it could be boiled down to a conspiracy. That not one of the men knew another any more than in passing made no difference to the charge of conspiracy. Shared beliefs equal conspiracy when the government needs a charge...
...there was uncertainty about Sino-Soviet problems, there was an equal amount of speculation over what seemed to be a shift in Mao's relationship to China's army. Peking usually describes the army as having been "founded and led personally" by Mao and "directly commanded by Vice Chairman Lin." Now, however, the phrase has been changed to state that the army is "commanded directly by Chairman Mao" and Lin.

In some ways, too, uptight white institutions seem to be copying the Indian. With hardly any tongue in cheek, Deloria devotes a number of pages to a new form of white tribalism. What strikes his eye particularly is the clannishness and the need for reassurance implicit...
