Many people have lost wars in history and many people's countries have been occupied by foreign powers. Our history is much more tragic. Hitler took care of 6,000,000 Jews.

Finally, in an effort to eliminate superficial contradictions while injecting a needed sense of perspective, Walter Lippmann categorically declared: "Tom Wolfe...
...would do well to recall how Hitler often literally shouted his way into power and his opponents into silence. I am not suggesting the students of SDS are capable of such, for they are not (especially the students who seemed to be highly interested in photographing themselves the afternoon of the seizure). But the are playing with games that have grown to national scale in other societies; games that men have died...
