Like those much bigger but somehow simpler conflicts, World War II and Korea, the Viet Nam War will doubtless bring back its own harsh pathology. It has already left scars that cannot readily be mended. "War does things to the language," as New York Times Columnist Russell Baker warned, "and the language in revenge refuses to cooperate in helping us to understand what we are talking about." The language has also taken its revenge at home, from the Vietspeak of "fragging" and "pacification" to the home-brewed jargon of "pigs" and "fascist conspiracies."

For the previous year, the combined balance sheet of the Herald and Crimson had shown liabilities of $3,527,95, and assets of $2,743,43. That winter, an editor recalled. "The advisability of stopping the paper was discussed." But, by June. The Daily Crimson had a surplus...
