...done that, and of the entire Taft-Hartley law, 14(b) has become the section most odious to labor leaders. As a Congressman, Lyndon Johnson voted for Taft-Hartley and to override President Truman's veto. But last year, as he set out to gather votes from every segment of U.S. society, he made clear to A.F.L.-C.I.O. President George Meany that he would seek repeal of 14(b), saw to it that the pledge was written into the Democratic platform...
...CONGO. When Patrice Lumumba was murdered by his own native political enemies, a worldwide propaganda drive turned the unstable and squalid rabble-rouser into a martyr and tried to pin the deed on the CIA. Attempting to woo the Afro-Asian segment of world opinion, the Kennedy Administration joined the clamor against Lumumba's former enemies and supported the U.N. war against Moise Tshombe's Katanga province. Since then the U.S. has switched, is supporting Tshombe as the man who can conceivably avert chaos in the Congo and who so far has been successful in suppressing...

Mostly, the appeal is its relentless beat. It is perhaps the most kinetic sound since the tom-tom or the jungle drum. It may seem monotonous to the musicologist, too loud to the sensitive...

The students who showed up "to have a little fun" represents that segment of Harvard which is mostly without strong poltical motivation, and which finds sincerity embarrassing...
Obviously, all 10,000 Washington marchers will not be supporting the same policy alternative. The official position of the groups sponsoring the march--as expressed in their petition to be presented to Congress--represents only one segment of a wide spectrum of opposition positions. Four possible means for ending the war will be suggested to Congress but these are only four of a much greater variety of alternatives. If those participating in the march are to make their opposition to the government effective, they must not consider tomorrow's demonstration as a call for merely negative protest. Only...
