Violence and reform not won by force says Sidney Hook
Philosopher Sidney Hook argues violence does not advance reforms in American history. He notes landmark Supreme Court rulings and social advances occurred without mob violence, praising enlightened democracy. Hook warns that advocates of force are undermining liberal ideals, especially on campuses where courts and police resolve disputes. He calls for fewer reformers and more healers among the next generation.

Refugees: No end in sight
Miami reports a five year airlift of Cuban refugees with no end in sight. Since December 1, 1965, about 17,000 refugees have arrived, costing US taxpayers millions. Most settle in Miami while others head to new cities as the government purchases tickets for the rest. The Cuban exodus follows Castro’s 1965 pledge to allow emigration, while a waiting list rumor circulates amid ongoing policy debates.
