...trained professionals: police, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, firemen, plumbers, etc. We have seen too many heroes and do-gooders get shot, knifed, beaten, insulted, embarrassed, inconvenienced -and would you believe sued-to have much stomach to intrude into the lives and crises of that mixed bag, the urban and unwashed public. Unless the role of the good Samaritan receives the full honor and protection of our laws, customs and mores; until young Americans are re-taught honorable self-defense and the morality of involvement, our streets will be unsafe...
...this point, the statement that Kennedy gave to the police and the accounting that he gave to the public seemed to diverge. In the first version, he said that on returning to the cottage he climbed into the back seat of a car and asked someone at the party to take him back to Edgartown.

They use ROTC to train students to put down popular rebellions from Detroit to Vietanam--rebellions against the daily oppression millions of people face...
...punishment is justified, regardless of procedure. I am not opposed, however, to answering questions about my "conduct" and presenting my "case," as President Pusey has asked me to do before this committee. But for me to do this, two conditions would be necessary: that any "hearings" be public and that they be held in the fall when all interested students and faculty could attend. I would welcome such an opportunity to explain why I and others took such actions as we did--though I believe out reasons are already clear to most persons at Harvard...
