...total of 86 months among them, they had served in North Vietnamese prison camps; their release brought to nine the number of U.S. prisoners released by Hanoi since early 1968. The men were turned over to a four-member American peace group that had come to Hanoi to escort them home (see box). Obviously, propaganda was a major element in North Viet Nam's gesture. But whatever Hanoi's motives and however callously it toyed with the hopes harbored by the families of remaining prisoners, the release itself was a welcome occasion...
Although the vigilante impulse has been stigmatized as part of a lynch-mob mentality, there is no intrinsic reason why blacks and whites should not cooperate in escort ser vices, for instance, or in demanding both more policemen and more humane police procedures. Such cooperative ventures are still far too rare to set a pattern; if anything, the cur rent trend indicates a discouraging deterioration. But the scattered alliances formed thus far suggest exciting possibilities - and a clear challenge for unions, corporations and politicians at every level to work toward an atmosphere of tolerance based upon rational self-interest...
...first producer, William Frye, was allocated the highest series budget in the history of TV-nearly $8,000,000 for the 1969-70 season.

They are presently in Hanoi as members of the U.S. delegation invited to escort homeward the three U.S. prisoners of war whose release was promised by the North Vietnamese early in July in observance of America's Independence...
...commune pranced around in the nude spraying one another with a garden hose. Finally, a motorcycle roared up to the house in Los Altos, Calif., and the rider yelled, "They're two minutes behind me." Two minutes later, "they"-a pair of federal marshals-arrived to escort Harris to prison where he will serve a three-year sentence on his 1968 conviction for refusing induction into the Army. The former president of Stanford's student body went quietly with a "Catch you later" to friends and a kiss from Joan. A reporter asked her how it would feel...
