...chapter in the book written by Fred King, a Harvard physics lab instructor, quotes Howard Zinn as saying "the war had to be opposed on all levels" and that the Shea Bill, even though it would not end the war, was a step in the right direction. So it was, but the liberal idealists who supported the Shea Bill must now see that their idealism is being outmaneuvered and subverted.

I became the Housing Chairman of the "Fair Practices Committee." succeeding a very successful term by Derek Bok. I met him at the time, learned in some detail about his activities, and gained an excellent impression both of his attitudes and his work. You must remember that the country as a whole was far more stagnant and stingy on the race issue even than...
