...Communists' main points are these: 1) there must be a complete withdrawal of American troops from Viet Nam, and 2) there must be a change of government in Saigon. First, do you think it is possible for American troops to be withdrawn completely prior to a ceasefire...
...ahead, but his lead seems to be diminishing. Marchi is a bit off to one side in the contest, saying some of the same things as Procaccino, with more thought and less vehemence, and with a more traditionally conservative cast.

Nader himself has been one of the main agitators in the national law school reform movement. The point was that students who want to beat the system have to stop playing by the system's rules. Student bodies might get ROTC off the campus, and that might make a chink in ROTC, which might cut into the war effort. But maybe things would be quicker and more effective if the bodies worked on the Defense Department...
