Finally Mr. Hessler writes that we "swallow whole" Leninist theory concerning imperialism. This is yellow journalism at its lowest. It carries the connotation of unthinking dupes accepting party dogma--it is not an argument--it is the vaguely masked cry of Commie, the magic word which so miraculously substitutes for thought in the U.S.A. today. It is certainly not the type of journalism that should characterize the CRIMSON. Mr. Hessler should practice what he preaches; he should fill his articles with "clear and interesting argument."

...Finally, I regret the word "swallow." I did not wish to imply that you are "dupes," a disagreeable and meaningless term used by disagreeable people. Rather I was registering surprise at the completeness of Mr. Maher's acceptance of the Leninist theory of imperialism...
...some people just cannot swallow the idea of coercing a worker to join a union-and one of them is Senate Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen.

...embarrassing situation for Kaunda, who must swallow enough of his African nationalist pride to stay on speaking terms with white-supremacist regimes that most other black Africans have boycotted. Kaunda's enforced moderation has fallen on deaf ears in Rhodesia, whose racist Premier Ian Smith seems bent on severing all ties with Zambia-including the rail line. "There's going to be a hell of a trouble unless the people down there can see sense quickly," says Zambian Vice President Reuben Kamanga...
