...what do you expect from upper-middle-class-socio-economic kids. Still, Henry Kissinger said that revolutions succeed when the people who are being revolted against do not take the revolutionaries seriously. So they took us seriously when we were only dealing with symbols. They sent Dartmouth students to jail for 30 days, and they fired on young people in Berkeley with shotguns filled with buckshot and birdshot and rock salt, and they killed one man--a white man. Black men died in colleges before, at Orangeburg last year and before and since. But then they killed a white...
Resisting the first supoena would have been stupid and pointless. McClellan would still get the information, but Chase Peterson and the other deans would go to jail. But when the committee starts looking for information that is not already sitting in government files, the University's decision will be more important. Fifteen years ago, the Administration denounced Communists but also tried to thwart Joe McCarthy. President Pusey has built part of his reputation on that stand.

Harvard University is in a much better position to have a showdown with McClellan, and the Corporation should take that responsibility...
...South Vietnamese, even a hint of coalition-at least in public -reeks of sell-out and disaster.

The Saigon regime fears that once the Communists were in the government, they would swallow up Thieu & Co. and eventually seize power. Asked in Seoul about the prospects for a coalition, Thieu said firmly: "I would like to give the shortest answer of this press conference. Just one word. Never. Are you satisfied...
...night after Martin Luther King's death, Cincinnati had issued a curfew which threatened to punish violators with up to a year in jail and a $500 fine. Though most of those convicted had not heard about the curfew, ninety were processed and sentenced in a bizarre mass trial held the night of the arrests. When Gilligan called the trials a joke, press and public reacted hysterically. "Arson and rape" became the decisive ingredients in his defeat next November...
