There is a faint hope that Johnson's egregious mishandling of the draft dilemma may stir Congress to implement Senator Edward M. Kennedy's Selective Service reform bill--which would substitute random selection for the oldest-first policy. If Congress, like the President, avoids reevaluating the bizarre draft system, it will continue to exacerbate American frustration with an irrational war policy...
