And Sullivan claims to be a little bit embarrassed by his failure to place Harvard in the BSEUI bag. Discussing his lengthy record of successful organizing campaigns, he points out that "I'm from Inman Square and still haven't organized Harvard...

And whether we can maintain the freedom of the Vietnamese by killing them and their choice--their right to choose their own government--by subjecting them to a more significant degree of coersion than any country of that size has ever been subjected to. Isn't it possible that a war that can only be fought and won at such a terrible human cost ought not to be fought at all?
