...willing to negotiate a prisoner exchange. Both say that the entire political spectrum of South Viet Nam must be eligible for representation in its government.

Hanoi still proposes the reunification of North and South, less adamantly than it used to, and the U.S. now accepts the possibility-although the means to bring that about remain vague for now.

...intellectual honesty and moral force." But Dr. Osborne, a Tufts administrator whose son was among 174 students arrested at Harvard, says that "nonnegotiable demands are absurd. When the administration doesn't capitulate, the students think that they can do anything they want, including sacking the files." No small group, he says, "has the right to be coercive and deny access to jobs or classes." Even while defending her son, Laura Hobson says: "Means shape ends.
