His demand that the Moratorium leaders repudiate Hanoi's endorsement of the movement, for instance, came immediately after a Nixon-Agnew meeting.

Too often in the past, it says, competent researchers have been discouraged from entering the field by the taboos that surround it-and by the difficulties of obtaining research funds.
