...years of real independence, Czechoslovakia must be more a spirit than a nation. But what a spirit! Again these gallant peoples have gone to the mat for the cause of a freedom they may never enjoy. Dubcek must have known that the Soviets would never allow him to succeed. But he must have known also that they would be forced to use the only powers they can be sure of-deceit, murder, and subjugation-to keep their empire from crumbling at their feet. Perhaps now the "peace at any price" people will see Munich revisited, and come to realize that...
Hurting Good. Outgoing N.S.A. President Ed Schwartz summed up the student mood as "discouraged." Princeton's Bob Powell, a leading candidate to succeed Schwartz, thought the word should be "rage." Conservatives professed to see students as "more significantly aware" this year, while radicals contended that the emerging feeling is one of "violence." At times, in the wilting heat of a livestock arena on the Kansas State campus, the delegates seemed to be contending with all four moods at once...

This time Ethiopia's venerable Lion of Judah told his guests, who represented the federal government in Lagos and the Biafra secessionists: "You cannot afford to fail. You must succeed. There is no alternative." Then he added: "We would like to appeal to you earnestly to refrain from polemics." Both appeals went unheeded...
What the U.S. seeks to demonstrate in Viet Nam is that armed aggression cannot be permitted to succeed, and it is still possible to imagine a settlement that accomplishes at least that much. The Viet Cong might lay down their arms, for example, compete with ballots rather than bullets, and eventually take over South Viet Nam by democratic means. The U.S. would not like that, but it could live with it because it would not represent a defeat for the U.S. stand against armed aggression or a victory for the Maoist doctrine of wars of liberation...
