...West Point) or the 16 of us leading this contingent who have served in Viet Nam. I find this omission more damaging to "objective reporting" than the unofficial press censorship in Viet Nam, although I do thank you for stating that the peace demonstration "was as peaceful as its pacifist philosophy and about as damaging to the U.S. image throughout the world as a blow from the daffodils the marchers carried." This was the intention of the demonstration, and is more than I can say for the violent handful who tried to disrupt the "mobilization" with paint, eggs and steel...
...small groups, largely consisting of individuals with a surrounding cluster of followers. There is, of course, Mario Savio, of the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, but his stature has faded along with the issue. The more stable heroes in the New Left's pantheon are Staughton Lynd, 38, a pacifist and professor of American history at Yale between speaking engagements, and Tom Hayden, 27, an S.D.S. founder who now heads the independent Newark Community Union Project, a small but energetic program to help the poor.

...Viet Nam has given rise to what might be called selective pacifism.

He was a rich aristocrat in the days when a peer was a peer, but became an "international socialist" and pacifist-exhibiting the gift of naivete that he possesses in such abundance today. Earlier, having become a teetotaler to please his wife, he had taken up drinking again because "the King took the pledge during the First War. His motive was to facilitate the killing of Germans, and it therefore seemed...
...under considerable fire during his stint at the Kennedy Institute. Some stressed the incompatibility of labor's long-run interests with those of the Negro, especially on the local level. Others stressed the exigencies of Vietnam and the need to ally with peace groups. (Rustin, whose career as a pacifist stems back to a jail sentence in 1943 for conscientious objection, chuckled noticeably.) Rustin's response was twofold: he agreed with those who stressed the contributions of the peace movement and the qualifications upon his proposed alliance; but he also expressed concern about the possibility of a more attractive alternative...
