Nixon will not be easily budged from the premise that expensive, far-reaching social welfare efforts are futile if the war continues indefinitely or if the economy goes sour. Nor is Congress in the mood for grandiose programs right now. Viet Nam and inflation, together with crime and unrest, remain the President's first orders of business. As he told a G.O.P. women's conference: "I ask the women in this audience to hold me and all of my Cabinet colleagues responsible on those three great issues. I will make this promise: next year I will be able...

Ostensibly, the size and power of TF-71 were intended to discourage North Korea from further adventurism. But there was also a domestic political consideration. During the presidential campaign, Nixon had maintained that the U.S. should react to small provocations lest they grow into large incidents.

More broadly, if a university is threatened with disorder, how far can it compromise before it loses all integrity? Is Cornell a symbol of racial progress or a disaster for American universities...
...newsmen, and explained why he was going. "Controversial issues with in the order," he said, had caused him to be "reproached for his progressive position and modern approach to life." Later he told a TIME correspondent that "I would have betrayed my vocation if I had remained in the order under present conditions. I would have been bound to a life of inaction." Instead, Schoenenberger will remain a priest, plans to found an organization of clerics and lay people called Forum Oggi (Forum Today) as a coordination center for new programs in social action and mass media communication...
