British press and politicians had reacted immediately, and emotionally, to the massacre. The editor of the liberal, antiwar New Statesman wrote that "responsibility for the Pinkville massacre -and for how many others?-lies squarely with the American nation as a whole." By contrast, The Economist rationalized that whenever a country goes to war, "it is statistically almost inevitable that some of its men will do something atrocious...
Bomb Plot. The shoot-out was the latest in a series of gun battles between Panthers and police throughout the nation. Recent police clashes with Panthers have occurred in San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Sacramento. Twenty-one Panthers in New York have been charged with plotting to bomb public places. Panthers claim that the police are attempting systematically to destroy their leadership. Hampton was an educated, compelling speaker, popular among young blacks, and under his guidance the organization was growing. The Panthers point out that Rush is next in line...
...Pentagon should have tried harder to persuade its civilian commanders that both ought to narrow their goals.

General William Westmoreland, the commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam during the critical years 1964-68, seemed to reflect this, though in a much muted fashion, when he said in congressional testimony released last week...
...country is so populous, it has such vast territory and abundant resources, a history of more than 4,000 years, and culture. But what a boast! We are not even as far advanced as Belgium. Our steel production is so low. So few people are literate. But now our nation is all ardor: there is a fervent tide. Our nation is like an atom. After the atom's nuclear fission, the thermal energy released will be so formidable that we will be able to accomplish all that we now cannot do." That was Mao's call to accelerate...
