...streets, lack of respect for authority, racism-all these were conveniently stenciled "made in Viet Nam." The war's impact, goes the conventional wisdom, went against the American grain and splintered the country into discrete and angry factions. The bombing of Orientals was a symptom of the ethnocentricism implicit in American history. The great father figures of the presidency were shown to be aloof and unresponsive to their children. Parents, policemen, establishmentarians-all figures of authority-were correspondingly devalued.

Would it be enough for Signet members to be "non-sexist" while remaining ideological servants of capitalism and sexism go so well together?) Haven't we seen enough bourgeois poets chasing their souls like butterflies? Haven't we seen enough backs...
...Implicit in the mood is the conviction that should he be "diddled" again in Paris, yet another blitz will be ordered. If Hanoi does not resume the talks in the proper vein, says a source close to the President, "he'll turn it up full blast again." The U.S. expects Hanoi in particular...
