...Town Blues Sir: "John Lindsay's Ten Plagues" [Nov. 1] illustrates the tragic fate of honest and idealistic men in today's political structure. The mayor has devolved from hero to scapegoat for trying to govern with principle. It is sad to see a fickle public turn on a man whom they hailed as "the hope of the nation" such a short time...

...Humphrey-Muskie Administration would never be indifferent to the fate of Czechoslovakia. We must act now to restrain future incidents by making it clear to the Soviet Union that future invasions of independent countries will have an adverse and chilling effect on ending the cold war. It is to the advantage of the Soviet Union as well as to our advantage to reduce tensions and military budgets.
