...discussion was urbane and informed but not particularly illuminating. Former CBS Correspondent David Schoenbrun, now a professor of Vietnamese history at Columbia University, conceded that Greene's "emphasis on civilian targets gave a false impression," but called the film "a useful counterpoint to our own propaganda." Robert Scalapino, who teaches political science at Berkeley, observed that the documentary "did not mention the word 'Communism' once," and summed up that it "presented North Viet Nam as the North Vietnamese Communists would like to have...
...behind the move, University of California Political Scientist Robert A. Scalapino, has worried that too many of the dissenters' caricatured criticisms were debasing discussion of the war, and that noisy campus demonstrations were convincing the nation and world of unanimous dissent by U.S. intellectuals.

Doak Barnett, Harvard's Oscar Handlin and Edwin Reischauer, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Under the sponsorship of the Freedom House Public Affairs Institute, a non-partisan educational organization, they got together for three days in October at Tuxedo, N.Y., and began...

...REGIME. Seventeen years after its victory over Chiang Kaishek, the Communist regime is solidly entrenched on the mainland. The chance of an internal revolution that would overthrow the Chinese Communists, says Professor Robert Scalapino of the University of California, "seems remote, barring global war or some other major and unforeseeable crisis." Other China experts agree. The Communists have unified the provinces, centralized all authority and imposed a totalitarian administration that has steadily tightened its grip on all phases of government and life. Chairman Mao Tse-tung's chilling philosophy is that "all political power grows out of the barrel...
Though he is against isolating Red China and in favor of universal membership in the U.N., the University of California's Robert A. Scalapino also rejected the arguments that the U.S. should not be fighting in Viet Nam. "By virtue of its strength and resources," he said, "the U.S. cannot escape from a powerful element of unilateralism, and I see no point in naively or romantically railing against this fact." Nonetheless, he urged the Administration to allow itself "a broad range of policy alternatives" in Southeast Asia. "If we continue to live by the all-or-nothing philosophy-either...
