...found Professor Walzer's remarks on the need for a long-run U.S. presence in the Middle East rather curious, partly because he used the phrase "learn[ing] the right lessons from the Vietnam War." This is a variant of the phrase "learning the wrong lessons [from the Vietnam war]" which happened to be the title of an editorial by the new editors of The New Republic (Feb. 1st) in which a tortuous argument is offered in defense of the irresponsible proposal by Prof. Robert Tucker of Johns Hopkins University for a U.S. military seizure of the Arabian oilfields...

Jackson, who already has $500,000 in his war chest, was the guest of honor...

Buckingham, called in local newspaper editors and informed them that lawyers for the defense had succeeded in hav ing the cases of the two defendants separated. Therefore, said the judge, two juries would be hearing the same evidence, one after the other, and coverage should be deferred. The request was then relayed to broadcasters.
