...those against Safeguard countered that in seven years, by the time it is fully developed, the system may well be obsolete. Moreover, it can never be tested because of the 1963 Test Ban Treaty. They argued further that if Russia ever launched a massive saturation strike on U.S. second-strike missile sites, the proposed Safeguard system would be capable of stopping only an insignificant number of incoming ICBMs...
...Israel-a necessity if he is to remain leader of the Arab world. It also boosts morale at home, appeases his restive army and captures some of the glamour hitherto accorded solely to the Palestinian guerrillas. Most important of all, the shelling continually reminds the diplomats of the U.S., Russia, Britain and France of the urgency that attends the task of agreeing on terms for a Middle East settlement...
America's first student left in the thirties spent most of its energies fighting the New Deal. The alternative it had in mind to the economic chaos of the Depression was the law and order of Stalinist Russia.

What Harvard has succeeded in producing in amazing numbers is Lermontovs, tinhorns with bullhorns, revolutionaries for the hell of it, motivated not by issues (though social ills are as real now as they were in Imperial Russia) but by guilt and boredom.

...Marcuse and his followers these are not just slogans to be shouted at a rally. They are theories to be defined and proven. Only collusion between the United States and Russia, for example, could have made possible the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. It is not a formal collusion, but an informal agreement that we are willing to fight for our "principles" in certain well defined areas while the Soviets are left free to fight for theirs in others. The whole thing smacks remarkably of the kind of spheres of influence which Germany and the Soviets defined...
