Substituting Uggams. Although CBS remained grimly silent last week, the network had already made its position clear at recent Washington hearings. Lately, Senator John O. Pastore has been expressing concern over what he considers the violence and questionable moral content of TV shows. While CBS President Frank Stanton eloquently defended TV's right to free speech in Washington last month, he also assured Pastore's Senate Subcommittee on Communications that he would police his air waves with renewed vigilance. Despite the assurance-or perhaps because of it-the Smotherses' April 6 show was studded with gibes...
...Larner, those views opened a gulf between McCarthy and his most activist supporters, who were bent on reforming society in a hurry. But for McCarthy, claims Larner, "the race was over in a moral sense the day he agreed to run. With that act, he accepted his obligation and carried out his reasoned judgment." Rather than fight for power, he would present his views in a balanced way, hoping to "expose the hypocrisy and self-seeking of other candidates."

This movement has no intellectual or moral respectability except in a context of genuine pacifism, which is a philosophy which few student demonstrators profess and which many of them betray by their actions. The anti-ROTC movement is mainly an expression of the kind of youthful identity crisis described so well by Erik Erikson. Apart from the fact that this type of emotional crisis makes it difficult to think rationally about complex...
THERE IS, furthermore, a moral argument that must be made against disruption of classes. This argument need not be based on the simple-minded assertion that the preservation of the right to teach and learn within the University is an absolute moral imperative. It is possible to envision circumstances where this right would come into direct conflict with the prior right of people to defend their lives and their freedom: a lecture on quality control techniques involved in the production of napalm is not, in the context of this country's policies abroad, absolutely entitled to protection against protesting students...
