...years had "no impact on his opinions." Of course it is possible that seniors appear to be more radical on the war than the majority of Harvard students simply because they have been at Harvard longer than others and have had more time to be socialized by anti-war sentiment rampant on campus. Still, it doesn't sound unreasonable to suggest that vulnerability has something to do with one's political opinions. One particular phenomenon which seems to bear this out is that students have become markedly more radical since they learned that graduate school was not going...
After this there can be little doubt in anyone's mind as to the extent of anti-war sentiment at Harvard. What is surprising is that 38 per cent of those who are against the war are now calling for immediate withdrawal. If anything, this shows that radical solutions are becoming eminently respectable among students. Another 42 per cent said the military effort should "be reduced on the assumption that it will lead to a negotiated peace," indicating that a vast majority of those polled were in favor of some form of military pullback...
Johnson promised that the Department of Health, Education and Welfare would write implementing regulations that would serve as "compassionate safeguards to protect deserving mothers and needy children."

We find it ironic that Professor Reischauer should be endorsing such statements in one place while attempting to disprove them in another. Besides, even if the contention were...
...accused Lyndon Johnson of murder for sending American boys to die in Viet Nam, infuriated his own state party by endorsing the 1966 Republican senatorial candidate. For all his contrary ways, he has always been invincible on election day. Yet, if polls are even an approximate indication of voter sentiment, Morse, 67, may now be vincible. Last week, home for the holidays, the Senate's rule breaker went about mending some fences in an effort to stop an upstart challenger who has steadily led in polls and straw votes. The challenger is not a Republican, but former Democratic Representative...
