...questionnaire, which included 15 queries on the draft and the war was administered to seniors in House dining halls during three consecutive days in mid-December. Each student, as he entered the lobby, was asked if he was a senior. If he admitted that he was, he was requested to fill out the poll--his name was checked off a master list in order to prevent repeats. No more than ten students in all of the Houses refused to fill out the questionnaire. Michael Useem 2G computed the poll; it was written and directed by James E. Shapiro...

Adamant in his search for an anti-war candidate, Lowenstein focused on persuading McCarthy, who was already deeply disturbed about LBJ and the War, to run. By mid-October, when Lowenstein visited Harvard in one of his frequent ten-state barnstorming tours, he was promising...
...believes he lost the same military-diplomatic war. The Anglo-American conflict was over the grand question of what shape Europe would assume after the ultimate victory. Macmillan had seen the Poles left to defeat and noted Chamberlain's indifferent impotence with contempt and pity. Then, in mid-1944, he saw decisions made that reflected Franklin Roosevelt's obsessive desire to please Stalin and his "almost pathological suspicions" of British foreign policy, "especially in the Balkans...
