...General Beadle State College in South Dakota, the President roundly castigated student militants and denounced campus disorder. At the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, he took up the cudgels for the much-criticized U.S. defense establishment (see following stories). Reported TIME Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey, who was travelling with the President: "Richard Nixon is rather possessed by two thoughts at this stage. He is deeply worried that the nation, as he puts it both publicly and privately, is turning inward, and he feels that his mission in the Presidency is to keep the U.S. great. In truth Nixon...
Civics Lesson. In large part, Nixon's speech was a reasoned defense against those who profess to see something unwholesome in the American system. "The structure of our laws has rested from the beginning on a foundation of moral purpose," he told the new moralists. The President also taught a fundamental civics lesson: "The right to participate in public decisions carries with it the duty to abide by those decisions when reached, recognizing that no one can have his own way all the time." What he failed to emphasize was that the realities of economic and political power sometimes...
...burly, brooding Ditto, who prowls the streets in a dashiki, arouses fear or hatred in many whites. Detroit's police and school officials see him as an ir responsible agitator.

...individual parties have become more independent. The French party for years cringed under Socialist Guy Mollet's indictment that "the Communists are not of the Left but of the East"; by asserting a moderate amount of independence, the French Communists have gained a new respectability in French political life (see page 41). The Italian party, the largest European Communist Party outside the East bloc, which is likely to share power in an Italian government sooner rather than later, stresses its independence of the Soviet way of doing things. Long the lepers of Finnish politics, Communists now participate in the coalition...
...myth and a generalized faith, Marxism has proved remarkably durable, partly because it has been interpreted and stretched so broadly that widely different political movements can and do invoke it (see TIME ESSAY, page 35). In its specific applications, the faith is hopelessly split. Within little more than a decade, Communism has undergone a great schism (Moscow v. Peking), experienced an abortive reformation (Dubcek's Czechoslovakia), and developed a plethora of protestant sects (Yugoslavia and Rumania, among others). The once vaunted and feared unity of Communism has shattered into a bewildering, quarrelsome, logic-and dogma-defying set of parties...
