Johnny Walker Mark II, Formula IV, is not a new liquor. It's a car -- one of many on display at the New England international Automobile Show at the War Memorial Auditorium. About ten feet long and only two feet high and wide, bright red, tapering to a broad, flat snout, Johnny resembles a tongue kissing. As such, he is one of least sensual pieces in the show...
Similarly, why should Secretary McNamara meet a critic of the Vietnam war in a debate which would be open to all students and which would, through wide publicity, inform large parts of the public on the opposing views of the war in Vietnam? How much more convenient to meet with small groups of Harvard students in off-the-record sessions!

...undergone no re-birth. Democrats were re-elected as state treasurer, auditor, and secretary of state by overwhelming majorities despite serious Republican efforts to capture these offices.

There were other less ideological, but still very important reasons to protest. Harvard, over the last two years, has been a frustrating place for SDS. The organization has never been able to achieve a truly wide impact; no issue has seemed clear-cut enough to attract strong, long-term support. SDS members complain about the apathy of the average Harvard student. They often yearn for something closer to a Berkeley. The Harvard student body doesn't seem to get stirred up, and the Harvard administration is difficult to offend...
