...usual, your pseudointellectual, leftist "enlightened Republicanism" has placed a misfit on top. Wishful thinking. That divorced, unhonorable protégé of your ex-boss appeals only to the ignorant and uninformed Eastern Seaboard masses so easily led by TIME.

An obscure physician from Brooklyn, drafted into the Army and clearly a military misfit, was haled before a general court-martial, charged with preaching antiwar dogma to enlisted men and refusing to teach them dermatology as he had been ordered. But last week the case of Captain Howard Levy took on unexpected significance both as a precedent in military law and as a chapter in the worldwide debate over the Vietnamese war. For the first time in a U.S. military court, the war-crimes doctrine of Nürnberg...
