...past year, hundreds of young people dropped out of college to help the cause of Eugene McCarthy and campaign against a war that they considered unjust. They may have felt at the Chicago Convention that their efforts had come to naught, and they may be disillusioned with McCarthy's recent behavior; the fact is that their efforts played a considerable part in persuading Lyndon Johnson to withdraw from the election and seek peace in Viet Nam.

"No one--neither Israeli nor Arab -- wants complete integration. We want good, friendly relations, but it would be unjust to them to force assimilation." He hopes for a settlement in which there is a "good political, economical, and social relationship" between the Israelis and the Arabs now under their control in "whatever political expression is most appropriate--whether as an independent nation, as part of Jordan...
