...have not lost my confidence and faith in Ted Kennedy. His leadership of such groups as the young, the black and the oppressed has earned my full endorsement far beyond that of any other major political figure. His opposition to the Viet Nam war and the ABM system, his concern about the Nigerian-Biafran struggle and the Arab-Israeli conflict, his remarkable record in the Senate and his service as Majority Whip have not been obliterated from my mind...
...applicability of space-age technology in every field of human endeavor "is as wide-ranging as the human imagination." But because of its very conspicuousness, it has been attacked by all those so concerned with pressing problems here on earth, while they ignore the egregious crimes of Viet Nam and our military, which dwarf the space program both in money and lives that have been squandered.

...hard-won ABM, while a general (2) expresses the Pentagon's pleasure. The cigarette-puffing baker (3) is Congress, serving up half a loaf of surtax. Above and to the right stands a G.I.

And it is Nixon, for all his public defense of the military, who is initiating a constriction not only of American might in Viet Nam, but also of the U.S. armed forces generally. The latest move came last week with the Pentagon's announcement that...
...Ginsberg learned enough to decide that strong drugs were not necessary for him. But with Talmudic thoroughness, he compiled a most impressive file and bibliography on marijuana, and has since arduously campaigned for its legalization. As a pacifist, he has crusaded for an immediate end to the war in Viet Nam. As a lecturer and reader, he is in constant demand at progressive campuses across the nation, where he is apt to deliver a formal talk in the university auditorium, then forgather with a more committed group for a symposium where he sets a tone of informality by occasionally taking...
