Aktie got its start early last summer, and has since attracted the support of Dutch religious, labor and political groups of the center and non-Communist left. Diekerhof himself is a mem ber of the Dutch Labor Party executive, and active in the New Left. He and other Aktie leaders have organized street theaters, panels and teach-ins in hired halls all over The Netherlands during the past few weeks. Last week in Driebergen, near Utrecht, one listener wondered why Aktie was not making similar efforts with the Soviet Union. Diekerhof answered: "We do not know how to influence...
Diekerhof and most of Aktie are critical of the outgoing Administration's Viet Nam policies. To support the movement, Aktie has sold more than 30,000 copies of a 55-page booklet called The White House-to-House Plan, which takes positions akin to those of Senator McCarthy and denounces Viet Nam as a "dirty war." The booklet's back page is a multiple-choice questionnaire for mailing to the New York Times, and most of those who have sent it in share Aktie's views.

...life. By implying that businessmen had betrayed the radical spirit of the American Revolution, he made U.S. history not a long fall from grace but an enduring crusade to restore lost revolutionary rights. (The fact that the Supreme Court for years regarded income tax laws as unconstitutional seemed to support Beard's contentions.) "Beardism," in any case, provoked savage attacks.

Ex-President William Howard Taft observed acidly that Beard would no doubt...
...course, many of us on this campus oppose the War, and many of us likewise may consider ROTC immoral. Just as we support many forms of political action to end the War, we have the right and the opportunity to demand a referendum on ROTC special status, to persuade our fellow students that ROTC should not have these privileges, and beyond that, to try to persuade those students who are members of ROTC to resign, and to dissuade others from joining...
...Thou shalt not have the right to belong to an immoral organization" is not merely ludicrous. It implies that on anyone's say-so, Harvard students can be shorn of their right to join, for example, SDS, on the grounds that SDS is immoral because SDS' confrontation politics strengthen support for Wallace and repression. Who's to decide what's moral and what isn't? If SDS can arrogate to itself such moral infallibility, why can't the Mountaineering Club--who get closer to God--do the same?
