...Following Nixon's advice of working in the American electoral system, my spirits have been uplifted by the recent elections.

There must be a streak of naivete in that man, for him not to realize that discussion of Vietnam has fallen a trifle out of vogue in familiar circles, that students and citizens and Congressmen have basically dropped the subject to move on to more novel and important concerns...
