There were always a small percentage of persons bent on destroying society, and on fomenting a revolution. In previous generations they were the Wobbles, later there were the campus communists. The reason why the present brand of campus revolutionaries, who are of anarchist and nihilist persuasion, are so much more dangerous is that they can point to success after success of their disrupting tactics. The greatest danger, then, is presently the readiness with which violence is afterward excused, and the seemingly convincing arguments which are bought forth to justify it before and after the act. Worst and most dangerous...
...point paper, described by the Communists as an "overall solution to the South Viet Nam problem," was officially presented by the National Liberation Front delegate, Tran Buu Kiem. Clearly, it also reflected Hanoi's views. Compared with most previous pronouncements, the statement was refreshingly free of bombast. While Americans were still denounced as "imperialists" waging a "war of aggression," there was only one such reference, and it seemed almost pro forma. But for the first time the Communists mentioned a neutral postwar South Viet Nam that would maintain "diplomatic, economic and cultural relations" with...
...Queen Elizabeth 2 (oneway fares: $490 to $3,000), the VIP list read like a page from the London telephone directory and the formal wear was mostly rented. Newspaper reporters divided their attention between F.D.R.'s youngest son John and a passenger notable chiefly for having made 22 previous crossings. Desperately, they wove vignettes from such unpromising material as the pet white mouse in a first-class stateroom, the ship's minor collision with a whale, and a vicar selling oak trees to reforest Sherwood Forest. With the weather still too cold to swim or sun, the passengers...
...sure, students at several schools who had defied all previous attempts to persuade them to abandon seized buildings meekly came out when served with court writs. As angry demonstrations continued at universities across the country last week, however, it became clear that court orders have mixed results. At City College in Manhattan, black and Puerto Rican students did obey an injunction, evacuating property that they had occupied for 13 days, but savage fighting later broke out on campus between whites and club-wielding blacks and Puerto Ricans (see EDUCATION). At Howard and Dartmouth universities, radicals barricaded in school buildings ignored...
...memorandum, I pointed to the fact that previous efforts had failed, in part, because existing major university had been opposed to a national university which would affect them in the competition for government funds and good students. To guarantee the independence and critical role of the center I suggested to Etzioni that any new Washington center should bar its staff from doing any work for the government and from taking government contracts. Competitive hostility to it from other other institution would also be reduced by such a policy and by limiting its student body to those taking degrees from other...
