...Your Essay "The Morality of War" [Jan. 20] was thoughtprovoking, and on a subject about which thought should be provoked. I myself cannot justify any sort of mortal violence. Such abstractions as "freedom" lose their meaning when used as justification for killing. You can't save a man for democracy by shooting him and bombing his children (even if in "error"). Since life itself is the only sure human value, and therefore the measure of all others, the taking of it is certainly immoral. Viet Nam, with hypocrisy-cloaked brutality on both sides, only confirms my distaste...
...clear from "Battle Over a Budget" [Jan. 20] that in his first weeks as Governor, Ronald Reagan has shown an ineptitude that astonishes even those of us who opposed his election. His economic myopia was not unexpected; in his crash program to "save" the California economy in 1967, Reagan has, by shortchanging the university, hit one of the institutions most responsible for this state's wealth and prestige. What is surprising is that he has also bungled his public relations. His inconsistent statements, his embarrassing lack of information, and his failure to consult the legislature and university officials before...

...final act at Manhattan's old Metropolitan Opera House resounded to an anvil chorus performed by wreckers and an anguished lamento from civic-minded spear carriers who had campaigned to save the old firetrap as a city landmark. But the house, which for 83 seasons had provided an echo chamber for virtually all the world's great voices, was sort of a wreck already, with no rehearsal space, some acoustical dead spots, a dusty stage that choked the singers, and a dingy exterior. Besides, the Met, which moved last September to its new $45 million Lincoln Center home...
Another spiritual repository of the students is religion. They believe in God. They believe that God is "almighty." They have been told by the American government that they should pray to God for world peace and pray to God to "save" the youth of the socialist countries.. The aggression of American troops abroad is committed also to obey the will of God! In the United States "God" has become a tool of the monopolist clique to dope the youth...
