Although the canvass stayed in Cambridge this time, Miss Blanc hopes that in November volunteers will go to other working class areas because she feels "Cambridge has reached the saturation point...
Just for the record, therefore, I have to point out that the Phoenix does not support Nelson, financially, editorially or politically. The only money he has received from us is the price of a few admission tickets to his rock benefit (his campaign managers somehow never managed to generate the press passes they promised us). We have, ?n addition, run a somewhat sympathetic profile of him by Mark Lieberman, a senior editor of the Phoenix. But this no more constitutes an endorsement of Nelson than Lieberman's profile this week constitutes an endorsement of Al Vellucci. The Phoenix does...
...DECLARING its support for the Vietnamese revolution at a time when American soldiers are dying in the effort to suppress it, the American peace movement will be making its day-to-day work more difficult.

...Thieu-Ky government will not be a viable alternative to the PRG once U.S. troops leave.

A second. no less-important point is that the right of dissent does not include the right to force assent. A university must be as concerned to protect the rights of its minorities as to respect the wishes of its majorities. A growing carelessness in regard to this basic principle of civilized democratic life seems...
