The article discusses the Truong Humphrey espionage case, noting their initial claim that the South Vietnamese government was rotten. It raises a question about whether condemning one side justifies supporting the other, and hints at broader implications for the Vietnam War narrative.
The piece ponders political loyalties surrounding Truong and Humphrey, noting activists, journalists, and academics like Noam Chomsky and Mary McGrory weigh in. It recalls Bob Drinan Ramsey Clark and past protests, condemns illegal leaks, and argues that opposing the Vietnam War did not compel aiding the enemy.
Opinion critiques a proposed labor law reform, arguing it shifts power toward unions via harsher debarment for contractor violations, higher back pay, and shortened union election timelines. It notes Meany’s call for a neutral framework and warns both House and Senate bills abandon true reform by failing to curb coercive tactics.
The House defeat of a federal consumer agency does not erase the issue. Existing regulators like the FTC CAB and FCC already serve the public interest, and their effectiveness would deter any revival. The piece argues that stronger influence from current bodies is the best check, invoking a biblical quote for emphasis.
Dartmouth student Peter Robinson recalls Naushon off Cape Cod as a lens on World War II memory. The piece argues prosperity dulls vigilance, cites Sven Kramer as warning, and urges steady readiness to defend liberty amid comfort.
A humorous reminiscence from John Roche detailing a snowy Saipan like town scene. The narrator and Floyd’s group endure winter’s grind, encounter sledging skiers, a bear in the bedroom, and a chaotic supermarket dash. Cars, cops, hearses, and liquor runs flavor a wry, retrospective winter snapshot.
