...enslavement, "people's paradise" v. "capitalist imperialism," but the intelligentsia and oppressed against the worldwide Establishment, liberty and freedom v. suppression. The differences between the Soviet's suppression of literature and "normalization" of Czechoslovakia, Peking's Cultural Revolution, and the Wallace-Nixon-Daley concept of law and order are very slight.

The attack developed into an assault on the whole Warren court, impairing its prestige severely in the process (see THE LAW). Last week the nomination that once looked like a sure thing went down to an embarrassing defeat...
