...nationwide canvassing project is called Vietnam Summer and it was born in Cambridge, quietly, just as the New York march hubbub was dying. The idea originated with Gar Alperovitz, a fellow of the Kennedy Institute of Politics who resigned his State Department post last year in protest against the war. Martin Luther King, who visited Cambridge to lend his prestige to the launching of the project, contributed the name which is reminiscent of the famous Civil Rights Summer...
...daughter were pleased that students had some idea of how the war oppressed workers. They asked us about our college work and discussed Mrs. K's plans to become a teacher. One of us told her he was going into city planning, so we talked a while about the Cambridge Inner Belt. The other said he was giving up academic work in the capitalist university (a self-service supermarket for U.S. corporations and the government).

The point, however, is that he is top dog among dogs (and bitches). If you do not like the idea of this view of the world, this should not keep you away from Kahn's production. For we are not likely to have a greater Shylock in our time than Morris Carnovsky...
...National Liberation Front. We do not know the enemy that well. Certainly it is a mistake to imagine that they are only waiting to oblige Americans of good-will. Such assumptions can be undermined by events. And it is very easy for those who are hostile to the idea of a negotiated settlement, those who want a military solution, so to handle our relations with Hanoi and the NLF and so to gauge and present their responses and non-responses that those who disagree -- you and I and our friends -- are left well out on a limb...
