...note that Americans have remarkably little hatred or fear of their enemy in Viet Nam. It is hard to hate people who are so fed up with fascist governments and foreign intervention that they are able to carry on with stolen and imported weapons and men against the most sophisticated weaponry that U.S. money can buy. "Hatred" doesn't fit; "respect" might be closer to the mark. It might be easier to work up some fear of Ho Chi Minh if he were leading a platoon of Viet Cong down the main street of Honolulu...
...hard to contemplate being called into military service and asked to go peasant hunting in overseas jungles, risking Claymore-mine explosions at every step, when one cannot realistically hate or fear the enemy, and when one has the haunting feeling that he himself may be the actual aggressor, all things considered. It is, in fact, much easier to fear Mr. Johnson's foreign policy...
Because Lyndon Johnson fears that the U.S. public is in no mood to accept its optimistic conclusions, he may never permit the report to be released in full.

Washington's Democratic Senator Henry M. Jackson leaked word that he would hold hearings on the ABM-and Lyndon Johnson was aware that they would pack plenty of political megatonnage. Richard Nixon...
...Mask of Fear. Dr. Hartogs' eight-letter thoughts on four-letter words are confusing enough to make a saint swear. On the one hand, he says that excessive swearing may be a "symptom of pre-schizophrenic personality disintegration." On the other, he regards the growing use of obscene language as "a rising index of spiritual freedom." But he can't quite tell: it may also be a "mask of fear" and "the last resort of the non-achiever." This is simply to say what has always been known-that dirty words are not always to be taken literally...
