...prisoner in North Viet Nam. Ho Chi Minh, it was said, would release him to testify. The defense also wanted to call government officials from Hanoi, Ralph Schoenman, a Brooklyn expatriate who is chief lieutenant of Bertrand Russell's "better-Red-than-dead" campaign in London, and Staughton Lynd, the Yale assistant professor of history who, like Schoenman, recently visited North Viet Nam (and last week brought suit in Washington to win back the passport he forfeited thereby). Judge T. Emmet Clarie rejected the whole line of argument, refused to allow Lynd and Schoenman to testify. It took...
...Fred Akuffo '66 attempts to analyze Ghana's progress under Nkrumah, and to outline the plans of the new government. A "miscellaneous" article by Stephen Cobb calls for a re-definition of the role of the American government in issuing passports, a controversy arising from the travels of Staughton Lynd. The three book reviews are intriguing, but not directly related to the African theme of the Review...
...Yale History Professor Staughton Lynd, 36, the most publicized of the Hanoi tourists, the delay was good for one last peace fling. When the BBC invited him to air his views on the war, New Leftist Lynd-to his own surprise -still had his passport, and flew off to London.

...case in point was Yale History Professor Staughton Lynd, hero of the New Left and a recent pilgrim to Hanoi, who chided the President for not doing all he could to make contact with the Viet Cong. Why, said he, it was as simple as picking up a phone and calling Prague. "I did it myself last Friday morning. Within an hour and a quarter I was speaking to a front representative who, incidentally, was fluent in English." CBS Radio decided to give it a whirl, spent 24 hours trying to contact a Viet Cong agent in Prague...
...Monday-night harangue against U.S. foreign policy was another example of the unfortunate intellectual condition of many of the "radical" members of the academic establishment. Like most participants in previous teaching -- one notable exception being Staughton Lynd -- the three speakers were unable or unwilling to articulate the real reasons for U.S. involvment in Vietnam. The poverty of their thinking was self-evident: they asserted that essentially everything relevant had been said repeatedly before; they seemed to believe that everyone understood all pertinent facts and points of view. It was as if the issue were closed and we were supposed...
