Conspiracies. His talk was also tough, if somewhat more tempered, on civil disorders. Both directly and by implication, he disputed the President's riot-commission findings. "A major deficiency" of the report, he said, is its "tendency to lay the blame for the riots on everyone except the rioters." Disputing the commission's attempt to debunk the notion that riots are planned by extremists, Nixon in a radio-network speech alluded to conspiracies to ignite next summer. Only a combination of efforts can avert racial upheavals, Nixon said, and he attributed equal importance to bringing "the American dream...
...made its first appearance in South Viet Nam nine months ago, and has since been used with increasing intensity. It is the Soviet-made, self-propelled 122-mm. rocket, whose seven-mile range has snatched every sanctuary away from the allies. The 122 has hit every major U.S. installation except Cam Ranh Bay at least once; its 42-lb. warhead has destroyed scores of parked U.S. planes, pockmarked runways from Danang to Tan Son Nhut.

Inside, the proletarian theme continues with chicken-wirescreened windows, secondhand tables bought at auction for $5 apiece, and bartenders who are togged out in dungarees and blue denim work shirts...
...Black Power Stokely has "revised" a theory which had never existed except as revolutionary rhetoric. The result is that while black power is saying one thing black power theory is holding out something actually quite different. The rhetoric must scare away all but the militant members of the black community, many of whom are only adventurers. But the real problem calls for serious, concerted work, and above all, money...
