...commence to feel the faint embarrassment of becoming comfortable with Richard Nixon?" asked Columnist Murray Kempton. San Francisco Folk Philosopher Eric Hoffer, who says that he was totally against Nixon before November, now recants. "The man is a total surprise," says Hoffer. "It's wonderful that a man who is so denigrated turns out to be so good. I glory in it." Few other observers share Hoffer's extravagant enthusiasm, but TIME correspondents around the country find that many others who voted for Hubert Humphrey also find merit-if only grudgingly-in the Republican President...

John Bunzel, a liberal political scientist at San Francisco State College, has been repeatedly shouted down in class; his two cars have been smeared with paint and their tires slashed; a bomb was placed outside his office. An S.D.S. student told him why: "You are a perfect symbol. You are over 40, you are white, and you have a doctor of philosophy degree. You are visible, in that you speak your mind in public...
...ATTEMPT to carry out their fist intention, the Saigon government officially forbids the discussion of peace or of neutrality. Those who do so will be branded as "bon nguy hoa, tay sai Cong San" (or, "peace pretenders and Communist lackeys") and will be subjected to imprisonment or death according to law code N. 004/65. Within the last few months, hundreds of students and intellectuals in Vietnam have been arrested, many imprisoned, some killed, because they happened to refer to the issue of peace...
