...laugh at David Wang and the weird bunch of "ex-students" who travel with him. Their morals may be suspect, their sincerity and devotion superficial, their sanity questionable. But as representatives of a small, yet persistent minority opinion in America and as symbols of age-old hatreds they are more than amusing, far less than frightening. Wang and his crew are worth remembering, if only as a proof that there are people like that...

By last week Sam Ervin, Chairman Lyndon Johnson and the rest of their colleagues in the Senate Preparedness Investigating Subcommittee hearings had reason to suspect that the Pentagon, like a complex missile, needed unscrewing badly. Having taken testimony on the state of the U.S. defense posture from military and civilian defense officials as well as scientists, the committee last week sat back while the nation's top missilemakers and planemakers opened up with...
