Chasan, now executive editor of this journal, is shallow and occasionally inaccurate, but he makes one good point. Chasan first presents a confusing and unconvincing philosophical discussion of his relation to the American Negro. He then abandons that tack and says that his growing antipathy to the Negro movement springs from the leadership's ignorance of "a responsibility of their own." He says the leadership has failed to bring about internal changes in the Negro community necessary for effective integration. "First," he writes, "there must be leaders who will encourage, even demand, constructive attitudes and actions completely apart from demonstrations...
...SOUTHEAST ASIA, the President resisted the temptation to veer off on a new tack in the ugly guerrilla war in South Viet Nam. Bolstered by the latest on-the-spot report from Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, Johnson decided to ignore both those who would neutralize the country and those who would carry the fight across the 17th parallel into North Viet Nam.

Time and distance prevented Mr. Graham from attending the Easterns but he seems to have obtained enough information to indicate that Joel Raichlin of Syracuse ". . . helpfully sprained his ankle and had to default...
...think the average Harvard wrestler gains much more than discouragement from a one-match tour of the Easterns, any more than the football team would gain toward an "absolute aesthetic quality" from playing Ohlo State every year. I certainly agree that outstanding wresters such as Tack Chace and, of course, Mr. Brooks himself deserve a chance in the Easterns. I apologize for implying that Mr. Brooks' bout with the unfortunate Raichlin would have ended in anything but certain victory...
