...other guy is always right, especially if he is a Communist. If I could feel sorry for the younger generation, I would; for soon there will be no teachers, no doctors, no lawyers, no engineers, no merchants, no anything, except revolutionaries running in a thousand different directions, having mistaken license for liberty...

Schelling said, "I used my lugubrious pitch-words like 'horror' and 'monster.' I think he felt we were overreacting, therefore he felt he could go back and try to convince us that the foreign policy was not wrong, but maybe merely mistaken. It was late in the day; perhaps we did get carried away. But he was his usual urbane, deft, intelligent self-a fine human being. He can disguise his pain...

...gave myself to you the contract didn't include cinematic rights." To cap the comers-in, in comes Dr. Ranee (Lucian Scott), an official inspector of mental clinics: "I represent our government, your immediate superiors in madness."

They argue that thirty times twelve is three hundred sixty, and that just might as well be everyone. The major flaw in this argument is the assumption that the pool of eligible men is stagnant. Rather, it changes from month to month. The pool is composed of 1-A's who have exhausted their appeals and have passed their physicals. There are many men who have been reclassified...

...open question. But it would be a bad mistake for the anti-war forces in this country to focus on the Cambodian intrusion as an independent phenomenon without extending their new awareness to a more thorough-going critique of American activity in Indochina. And it would be equally mistaken for them to hope merely for a speedy end to the "limited" American venture. Even after this "seven-week" venture, the American military commitment will remain extended there, leading to widespread suffering for those in Cambodia who now live under Lon Nol's dictatorial tutelage...
