Nonetheless, Johnson has yet to address himself in particular to the great majority of Americans who generally support his Viet Nam policy, though not in many cases without a certain apprehension. To sustain the broad base of support that he will need as the war expands and the casualty lists lengthen, he will have to pierce the apathy of those who-as of now-trust the President to make the right decisions, but have no sense of involvement in Viet Nam.

His proposal during this fall's Gen Ed debate that students be allowed to fail one course a year without the failure going on the permanent record was an effort to correct what he considers Harvard's "vitamin deficiency": a fear of taking risks. The average freshman (everything Riesman says about Harvard he thinks is generally true for Radcliffe) is awed by the articulate brilliance of those around him.
