Patient Resistance. "The idea was mine," said Douglas, a pacifist in the early 1930s who saw heavy combat in his 50s in World War II as a Marine officer. Disturbed that the Viet Nam debate was dominated by "extremists on both sides," he began writing friends last summer, incorporated the committee on July 31, and helped to draft a policy statement that was edited in longhand by Eisenhower...
...groups such as S.N.C.C., RAM and shaven-skulled Ron Karenga's Los Angeles-based US, plus the volatile cadres of the New Left, which are so concerned with internal disputes that some of their organizations cannot remain in existence for more than a month at a time. Unsophisticated pacifist or antidraft outfits and digger do-gooders from the hippie subculture are frequently suckered into the hard-line camp and end up unwittingly propagandizing as activists...
Headquartered in a noisy Lower East Side loft festooned with bare steam pipes and posters of burned Vietnamese children, the Mob is chaired by Yale-educated David Dellinger, 52, a smartly dressed, balding pacifist.

During half a century of writing punctuated by two world wars, Angell published more than 40 books decrying as illusory any "victory" in war and urging meaningful peace through collective security, most notably in Europe's Optical Illusion, a slim pamphlet first printed in 1909 and then, as it became the subject of a raging controversy, expanded into a book-length The Grand Illusion, which was eventually translated into 15 languages...
