...friend of his for years, I do not recognize the man you describe as Andreas Papandreou. If you knew Andreas or his writings, you would know he is no more a "leftist" than the younger Hubert Humphrey, in whose alma mater Papandreou taught economics between Harvard and Berkeley. By this semantic smear you justify another U.S.-subsidized rightist regime rejected by the populace in national elections. Your version of the coup imperils the life of Andreas Papandreou in a cynical "treason" trial...
...rest of us are more actively involved: S.D.S. members are not in student government or other positions of leadership. It was we squares who spearheaded and supported the first "Festival of Ideas," which brought, among others, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Robert Theobald and John D. ("Jay") Rockefeller IV so we could seek further than just kick at the status quo. Our head football coach's interest in the students transcends the goal post.

Their petition was signed by 350 professors from Harvard, M.I.T., Tufts, and Wellesley, and copies were sent last Friday to President Johnson, U Thant, Hubert Humphrey, Senate and House Leaders and Massachusetts Senators Edward W. Brooke and Edward M. Kennedy...
Indeed, there were signs of a strong reaction against the irresponsible brand of dissent that scarred Humphrey's recent European tour. This week's Harris poll shows that the Vice President, who trailed Bobby Kennedy in November's popularity samplings by a 61-to-39 margin, has now edged ahead of him, 51 to 49. One of the chief reasons, speculates Pollster Lou Harris, is that the egg-tossing, paint-splattering European Vietniks who dogged Hubert won him a considerable sympathy vote back home...
