...followers all have their own complaints and their own reasons for believing that Wallace can help. The addition of LeMay?Wallace's Agnew, in the view of many critics?will probably add to his appeal, particularly with those who are frustrated by the war. The general's inspection trip to Viet Nam this week will doubtless help Wallace's effort to convince voters that he has a grasp of world affairs?and, in fact, last week's speech on foreign policy before the National Press Club in Washington was reasonably restrained and cogent...
...this year out. Certainly Humphrey could depend on union support in big industrial states if Wallace were not in the race. "Originally," says Al Cella, Humphrey's chairman in Massachusetts, "the assessment was that Wallace would not cause much harm because this is a 'Democratic' state. That view has changed.

Otherwise, reason is nothing more than oppression...
...administration could not seriously believe that Mr. Hatchett's views on Shanker and the candidates will impede his managing a cultural and social center for blacks students at NYU, Hester's statement in this regard is disturbingly reminiscent of the arguments of right-wing legislators who view radical anti-war professors as "unfit" to hold university positions. There can be little doubt that the NYU action was influenced less by any dispassionate appraisal of Hatchett and his responsibilities than by the racially charged circumstances under which Hatchett's statement was made, and the public pressure on NYU which that atmosphere...
