Description

Our four guests-all left of center, all thoughtful and well spoken-give us a good perspective, by way of comparison, on our own student activism. One sample, from Mr. Martin: "When I look at the Vietnam War, for instance, I tend to think of it probably more in political terms than some of the Americans ... They tend to think of it very much in moral terms, I think, and if I had moral judgments I would make them. But the decisions I would come to on the Vietnam War would be far more objective, I think, than an American would make. I think it comes back to the fact that an American young lad of 18, 19, is going to have to fight there. I'm not."
