Limited War Brings Draft Inequality into View

It notes the war’s limited status while full mobilization defines who serves, and that lotteries once used in World Wars may reappear amid rising manpower demands.

A Call for Lottery in Draft System Debated in Congress
Congress debates a return to lottery drafting with Lt. Gen. Hershey opposing the plan. Sen. Kennedy cites flaws in both systems and advocates a lottery with selective service testing for all 18 year olds, proposing a draft number system to equalize risk across demographics and deferments. The Vietnam war sustains the civilian draft and favors a lottery free from discretionary judgment.

Purge talk and partisan gridlock in American politics
A Washington column contrasts Soviet purges with U S political life noting how leaders purge rivals and how opponents justify their ouster in print. It questions why such purges never take hold in the United States citing Johnson Kennedy Fulbright Morse and potential leaks.
Purge Rumor Triggers White House Power Play Speculation
The imagined purge scandal spurs Johnson to manipulate press leaks while Kennedy Fulbright and Morse confront exposure. Morse drafts a 300 000 word confession, Kennedy plans a six hour nationwide press conference, and Fulbright negotiates a secret state role to burn his own confession. Public reaction shifts toward Kennedy’s rising political stake ahead of 1968.
