...deployed the lightly armed 165-A Regiment, comprising six battalions of troops who will act as guides and scouts for regular forces flooding in from the countryside once the offensive begins. Farther out in the countryside-an area that they consider already "liberated"-they have ordered their forces to establish "G.I. killing belts" around U.S. installations. Near the tiny Vietnamese militia outposts, their favorite ploy is to use loudspeakers to sympathize with men "drafted for an unjust cause" and invite them to move out of the camp...
Matter of Morale. Underlying the highly publicized raid was a long-running Synanon campaign to establish complete jurisdiction over its patients, free of state control. Dr. Victor Vogel, chairman of the Narcotic Authority, finally felt compelled to carry the law's test requirements. By rounding up the two parolees, he hoped to establish that his agency has authority over all civilly committed addicts in the state-including those at Synanon.

The radicals of 1776 stipulated that "only majorities could renew the social contract," explains Lynd. "Abolitionism was obliged to discard that restriction so as to justify individual disobedience to laws which sanctioned slavery...
...convinced that their Russian brothers are suffering persecution, or at least discrimination. Underlying this conviction is bitterness about Soviet Russia's anti-Zionist foreign policy and refusal to allow Russian Jews to emigrate to Israel. The very fact that the Moscow rabbi was in the U.S. trying to "establish contact" with U.S. Jewry suggests that some of the charges of anti-Semitism were beginning to bother the Russians. As he held court in his suite in Manhattan's medium-posh Essex House, the rabbi reiterated two basic arguments, both undeniable-as far as they went. Anti-Semitism exists...
