Teddy White argued that Kennedy won in 1960 by popular vote doubts, with Nixon declining to challenge. The piece notes push by liberals for one-man-one-vote, conservatives favoring the current electoral system, and concerns over recount feasibility and racial, class, and regional impacts. It cites Agnew on education growth and diploma values, then defends the constitutional system citing Jefferson and Adams and Kennedy's Faulkner quote on resisting unnecessary change.

The letter references education superintendent pay rises and urges voters to consider accountability and citizen empowerment before the November referendum.

The piece argues wars lose honor yet fail to be honest, cites widespread drug use among Vietnam GIs, unprecedented mental and disciplinary issues, and weapons sent home. It condemns home-front division, hypocrisy, and warns only learning from mistakes can yield future victory.
The writer argues that true purity comes from Christ indwelling believers not from self effort. Sin remains in humans without Christ, while boasting self righteousness is warned against. Humility is fleeting, as noted by a quoted maxim.
