...blame for Graham's supposed servility on one event, however traumatic, seems risky at best--irresponsible at worst. And Davis cannot produce any convincing evidence that Graham does dance to the Administration's beat. The Washington Post did smugly support Johnson's Vietnam policy on its editorial pages, but so did countless other newspapers. Calling Graham servile because The Post supported LBJ's Vietnam policy is patently absurd. Nor does Davis propound any solid evidence that Graham acutally bends her news coverage toward the pleasures of her "father figure" in the White House...
...behalf of myself and other alumni/alumnae of the Vietnam War period, I wish to thank the House Committees of Dudley, Eliot, and Winthrop Houses for continuting to boycott the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities (as reported December 4). The issue, for those who need to be informed or reminded of the situation, is not whether the CRR stands in need of the "reforms" which have been proposed over the past several years, but whether its existence in any form is legitimate.

...whom he loathed, was "wonderfully close." Never afraid to put his head on the chopping block of prognostication, Strout writes on November 1, 1948, "In a hopeless battle, (Truman) stayed game to the end, and is going down fighting." And on November 16, 1968: Nixon "will probably wind up Vietnam pretty quickly." Occasionally, however, Strout springs some real clairvoyance. In January 1968, he not only says the GOP will select Nixon, but predicts he will offer a secret plan to end the war inexpensively. Right on the money...
Instead think about the ideology that forced us into Vietnam, of the terrible problems that developed while we were there, and of the new attitudes we held once we got out. Think about how these attitudes can change our country for the better, and think of how you can act to help that change along. Most of all,talk about these ideas with your friends, relatives, loved ones, strangers. For a country's ability to change depends entirely on the fortitude and creativity of its people, and creativity cannot flourish in isolation...
