Radicals don't help the American people by promising an easy escape from the war. We can't get students (or workers, for that matter) out. We can only build a movement. The job of building a movement strong enough to get the U.S. out of Vietnam and other countries is very difficult. Sentiment is already widespread and growing against the war. But people are unclear about why the U.S. is there and what to do about it. They are anxious to find niches of personal safety; they are divided in many ways against themselves.

Tarkenton, who refused to return to the Vikings, was purchased dearly -- for this year's top two draft choices, the number one pick the next year, and a player to be agreed...
Foreign aid has fallen upon bad times. In President Johnson's aid proposals to Congress last month, he called for emphasis on regionalism, multilateralism, and self-help.
