(1934-) Date Created March 06, 1970 Description This is a contradictory commentary to French president Georges Pompidou's speech the previous week before the Commonwealth Club. Joseph Blatchford supports the student youth movement. He views it as a positive social development in reaction to the turbulent political and social climate of the time. He instead feels the government should create opportunities for young people to channel their energies. He advocates service be part of universities' curriculum.
