...Your biased story makes the poor white store owners who overcharge and gyp ghetto residents, the police, Mayor Addonizio and Governor Hughes appear pious and perfect examples of the "good guys" who cannot understand why this "terrible act of criminal insurrection" has taken place. The Negroes served as perfect examples of the "bad guys" who don't know how to behave and should contentedly nibble on the crumbs provided by the "highly successful" poverty program and other community-action programs-many of which have not even been started. No one group is all good or all bad. My suggestion...

...baffling to understand why such supporters of the Vietnam war as Senators Russell (D-Ga.), Thurmond (R-S.C.), Stennis (D-Miss.), and Byrd (D-Va.) were so outraged by the intervention.
