In any case, the fact remains that the only three men who since F.D.R.'s time seriously threatened the status quo are no more. And no presidential or other oratory will stop any thinking man, American or European, from regarding as strange the assertion that the three most progressive Americans have been assassinated by men who felt rejected by a capitalist society or entertained grudges against...

Relatively few boards seem to know or care that the Supreme Court significantly broadened the qualifications three years ago. Now a man need only possess beliefs that prompt his objection to all wars and that "occupy the same place in his life as the belief in a traditional deity." But even if he knows how to raise that argument legally, home-town board members may well pay no attention because they think that such a test is much too easy...
