Traditionally, America has rushed to repair the damage wrought by U.S. aims abroad. Surely, this time, that tradition should encompass aid to the two countries so long besieged: both Viet Nam and the U.S. There is much chance for action at home...
...past century has wrought many changes in The Crimson. Competing publications have risen, and died away; the competition has always been welcome, for it fosters improvement. The Crimson has grown in size and stature since its beginning, and it has evolved technologically. To be sure, there have been many difficult times: the Depression, two World Wars, hostility from faculty and administrators when editorial stances did not agree with all concerned.

Men worked 18 and 20 hour days, going weeks without shore leaves. And despite their distance from the destruction they wrought, Vietnam took its toll, and the crews were soon immersed in the same racial tension that has gripped the Army and Marines. Officers critical of Zumwalt are presently calling for his removal, citing a general breakdown of discipline, and Congressman Edward Hebert (D-La.) has opened hearings on the subject...
