Extract

President Nixon's decision to mine the harbors of North Vietnam, while stepping up the bombing at the same time, launched another wave of partial hysteria. The president of Amherst College made certain he was arrested for joining a peace demonstration which invaded a nearby military base, a convenient device which enabled him to transfer the problem of campus unrest to a new location. Theodore Sorensen made another of his frequent appearances on the “Op-Ed” page of the New York Times to remind us how skillfully John Kennedy, by comparison, had handled foreign policy, especially during the Cuban missile crisis.
