...looked ten years older than when he went in in the morning. I think he felt freer when he got it out of his system. It was his way of making peace with his family-and himself." In the end, O'Neill had forgiven everyone who had scarred him, except the gods...
Professor Cox at one point begged the disrupters to allow the speakers to be heard. Under the circumstances, he may be forgiven the lapse. We must refuse to beg for free speech at Harvard. We must insist upon it. If the Faculty fails to express its repulsion at what happened Friday night, and demand punishment of the disrupters; if the Administration fails to proceed with the punishment; and most of all if we the students fail to make clear our horror that here at Harvard men were prohibited from speaking freely, we will all share the guilt that falls...

Campaign wounds, of course, heal quickly, and a certain amount of rhetorical violence is accepted and forgiven in U.S. politics. By lowering his voice -as he surely will-and turning to the daily task of building a record on which he can run in 1972, the President can control many of the events that will shape his re-election chances. He must act to get the economy under control, and he must move back toward the center, where majority opinion in the nation lies. It would be surprising if he did not learn from this election that divisive politics...
