...sought to ignore the poor but rather to give them new hope. He has done this through identification with minorities. As the one candidate to be accepted completely by Negroes, he best offers the solution to America's most distressing domestic problems-racial unrest and urban decay...
Colored Ruthless. Nor was Kennedy's growing unrest over Viet Nam an act. He played the issue for political advantage, to be sure, but he also became increasingly convinced that the massive U.S. military commitment was a blunder that threatened catastrophe. He had helped plant the roots of Johnson's Viet Nam policy during the Kennedy Administration, and he acknowledged it: "But past error is no excuse for its own perpetuation.

You assert that the students had "found neither violence so romantic nor West German society so weak as they had imagined." What evidence is there that they had imagined violence to be romantic-a few months after one of them had been shot in Berlin? I see diverse ingredients in our students' attitude toward violence. Of romanticism I see no trace. Also: Is society's strength measured...
