As his policemen went out of control that night, the deputy superintendent in charge had to pull berserk officers off battered and bruised demonstrators, shouting at them: "Stop, damn it, stop! For Christ's sake, stop it!" The report confirms the earlier impression that the Chicago police force-in Mayor Daley's celebrated euphemism-"overreacted."

And if the reporter has aligned himself with the "wrong" side, who is to decide that this is so? The logic in attempting to provide...
...last week. South Viet Nam's President and Vice President were seen in deep conversation in the corridor that separates the "Thieu wing" from the "Kywing" of Saigon's Independence Palace. Said Ky to an aide: "What can I do? I must accept this reconciliation for the sake of the country...
