Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield confesses: "Frankly, I prefer private letters." The National Association of Manufacturers finds it far more effective, says a spokesman, "to send the head of one member plant into the office of a Senator than to send him a petition full of names of all the heads of our member plants." Of campus-circulated petitions, Harvard Historian Oscar Handlin, a confirmed non-signer, says: "I think they have no effect whatsoever except to let people blow off steam.

...Last week, in a bitter rerun of a contested Democratic primary in a predominantly Jewish and Italian-American district in Manhattan, five-term Congressman Leonard Farbstein, who supports the Administration's Viet Nam policy, won renomination by a bigger margin than in June. In most races, candidates prefer not to raise the Viet Nam issue. "I call it," says Iowa's G.O.P. Chairman Robert Ray, "an underriding issue...

Instead, they are saying, "We don't want...
Pastard feels that the phrase "black power" has split the Negro community, and that before the riots triggered the slogan the community was approaching some sort of unity. Pastard views black autonomy as primarily economic autonomy--"don't call it 'black' power; call it 'green' power.'" Karenga may prefer pumps in Freedom City to the city's faucets, but Pastard is more interested in getting faucets for Freedom City. "I don't believe the poverty program is sincere...money has never been spent so loosely. It causes just greater confusion by telling the people they're equal...Developing economic power...
