...childish pronouncements on the draft [June 3] of those who would enjoy the harvest without the labor are empty and redundant. Joe College '66 is a sad, disgusting example for my children to have to follow. He tempts me to resign to avoid contributing to the security in which he is free to demur and complain...
...Russians Are Coming were as good as its best actor, the laughter might reach gale force. Sad to say, Director Norman Jewison and Scenarist William Rose, working from a novel by Nathaniel Benchley, seem too anxious, or too unsubtle, to sound the depths of a delightfully quirky human comedy. Instead they try too often for ding-dong farce, calling on a corps of hard-sell comedians to transform the townfolk into strident cartoons. Jonathan Winters as an addled police officer, Ben Blue as an irrelevant drunk, and Paul Ford as a sword-swinging Legionnaire are the chief offenders, since their...
...military's experience in Viet Nam. The Army's Limited War Laboratory has already shipped 22 projects to Viet Nam for evaluation-from leech repellent to treetop landing pads-and is currently working on 85 more.

...detractors. "Saigon is no more an American brothel, literally or figuratively, than was Seoul, Berlin, Rome or wartime London," said the New Republic, which generally goes along with the Senator's criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Fulbright's simplistic generalizations, added the magazine, are a "sad indication of what Viet Nam has done...
