...assembled leaders of black power couldn't have sounded responsible to Whitey-and they couldn't have cared less. The Student Nonviolent Coordinat ing Committee's H. Rap Brown urged Negroes to "wage guerrilla war on the honkie white man," added: "I love violence." Los Angeles Black Nationalist Ron Karenga remarked at the opening session: "Everybody knows Whitey's a devil. The question is what to do about it." Notably absent were the N.A.A.C.P.'s Roy Wilkins, the National Urban League's Whitney Young Jr., and Martin Luther King Jr. Harlem's Adam...
...Center for Urban Studies, the second most important urban research center in the country, advocates a federal "Human Renewal Administration." "All of the welfare and educational provisions today," he declares, "are only a Band-Aid on a gaping, massive wound. Should the present trends continue, we can expect guerrilla warfare on a scale terrible to contemplate." Hauser contends that a great deal of effort is being dissipated. "What is the point of putting children in a Head Start program," he asks, "and then into a conventional school system not designed to build on what he acquired...
...thus ample signs that the war may prove to be a long one, though the "battles" so far have been rather modest skirmishes.

The government's anti-guerrilla campaign, called "Operation Cynthia" after the commanding officer's daughter, so far has produced only eight captured guerrilla suspects, including a French leftist intellectual named Jules Regis Debray. A close Castro friend, Debray was picked up walking out of an abandoned guerrilla camp three months ago. Since then, he has told half a dozen conflicting stories, some of them implicating Cuba's long-absent revolutionist, Che Guevara, in the Bolivian...
...long analysis of Viet Nam policy, Hilsman asserts that soon after Johnson became President, he foresaw L.BJ. escalating the war in a way he could not support. His dissent turns on whether guerrilla warfare should be treated "as fundamentally a political problem or fundamentally a war." To Hilsman, it is a political problem, which the U.S. buildup and the bombing of North and South have exacerbated rather than helped to solve. Though he admits that no one can be sure, he argues that Kennedy shared this view and would not have raised the military stakes as high as they...
