Crucial Months. It isn't working. For all the President's intelligent instincts, last week-the worst for Nixon since taking office-showed how easily history can repeat itself. Nixon had tried to fine-tune his war policy by modulated maneuvers, but suddenly the home front reverted to a battle for the weary hearts and minds of Americans. There are no lines from the White House that link up with the Vermont Avenue headquarters of the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee, whose first nationwide demonstration, scheduled for Oct. 15, appears to be gathering momentum beyond all expectations.

To boot, they are all but exclusively daylight and twilight feeders...
...Secger who is singing that song-Secger, a man who was blacklisted and red-baited for most of the past twenty years. It's Woody Guthrie who wrote the song-Guthrie, a man who fought for the best in America only to see the best lose out to the worst. Woody's presence casts a spell of doom over every bit of Alice's Restaurant: He at least kept the faith: Arlo and the rest of us can't even do that...
