...Moratorium Committee's coordinator is, in fact, a former McCarthy campaign aide, Sam Brown, 26. An ebullient onetime Harvard Divinity School student from Council Bluffs, Iowa, Brown has been restlessly seeking new ways to marshal a mass antiwar movement ever since he effectively organized campus youths behind McCarthy. He won a fellowship to Harvard's Institute of Politics last year, tried to create a strong anti-ABM movement in Boston, but soon lost interest in both enterprises. The idea for a Moratorium Day came to him last spring after a Massachusetts peace group proposed a drive...
...movement is directed from the crammed Washington offices of the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee, which was organized over the summer by Sam Brown, 26, a former McCarthy campaign aide. Mainly a "goading agency," Brown's committee has left specific tactics to each of the 700 or so local campus chapters that have joined the movement so far.

...Destroy, She Said is mummifyingly boring, it is actually quite a lot of fun. Marguerite Duras, who executed this excellent satire, has good credentials for the job. Besides writing the screenplays for Hiroshima, Mon Amour and Une Aussi Longue Absence she also attended the birth of the anti-novel movement, making such notable contributions to the genre as Moderato Cantabile and The Sea Wall. In her directorial debut, she has unfortunately committed one rather crucial error. She seems to have been the only one who didn't get her own joke...
