...confirmation. For some, it was merely a screen to hide their real concern. Some Republicans, hoping for victory in November, do not want Johnson to name anyone to the court for the remainder of his term, since that might deprive a G.O.P. President of the chance to select his own man. Many Southerners dislike the activist trend of the court altogether and see Fortas as a too liberal successor to Warren.

In such cases, it seems that a new heart may be wasted on a patient with negligible chances of survival. But can a doctor, in good conscience, pass over the man who is most severely ill and doomed soon to die, in favor of a younger man with more vitality, whose need is less urgent but who has a better chance of survival?

You fail to give credit to conservative activist students, who outnumber S.D.S. members by more than 5 to 1. Further, you fail to mention that there are students who intellectually envision the solutions to "bureaucracy" and "dehumanization" in addition to the few whose inarticulate ravings and uncritical grasp of history dominate your pages. There are many among...
