...Senate, Minnesota's Walter Mondale said softly: "Coming into this chamber this morning to talk about the war in Indochina, I felt a deeply depressing sense of reliving all over again tragedies of the past which should be far behind us. We have been through so many springtimes of slaughter and folly and deception . . . Now in the spring of 1972, it is happening again...
...President played his last card?but it was a powerful one. Early last week, for the first time in four years, American bombs fell in the area of the North Vietnamese capital and the key port of Haiphong. The Administration assembled the strongest air and sea armada in Indochina since the war last peaked in 1968.

In fact, Nixon's bombing of the North has been frequently neglected, lost in a morass of university-oriented issues. The strike as it is currently constituted should end. There is no real base of student support for its continuation. But we should go on working in whatever ways possible to end America's reign of terror in Southeast Asia. Students should return to class, but should be prepared to disrupt again their normal schedules and lend support to specific demonstrations of antiwar sentiment...
