That feeling has unfortunately been strengthened by the misfortune of the honorary associates program. The associates' visits have been the most publicized and least productive phase of the Institute's activities for undergraduates. The associates, according to the original conception, were supposed to let professors rub shoulders with policy-makers and to enthuse students with the prospect of politics. Neither aim has been well served. The visits of McNamara and Goldberg turned into bitter and exhausting confrontations with dissenting students, and the undergraduate meetings with other associates often turned out to be dull, especially for the associates.

In Washington, White House Aide Walt Rostow observed that "an extremely interesting and delicate phase" had been reached in diplomatic efforts to move the war to the conference table. At New Mexico State University, General Maxwell Taylor, a former U.S. ambassador to Saigon, declared that conditions for a negotiated peace had improved.

...Wilkins wrote to say he had not known the NAACP was reprinting it: "My opinion of the Ryan piece and of similiar reasoning is well known to my immediate associate here....It is a silly and sinister distortion to classify as racist this inevitable discussion of a recognized phase of our so-called race problem." Wilkins's attitude was shared by other Negro leaders. During the summer, Whitney Young, Jr. several times noted, properly, that he had for years been writing about just such questions. In October in a speech in Westchester, Martin Luther King, Jr. summed up a general...
