The conference was scheduled for 10 a.m. As of I p.m.. no one had shown up. Reporters, most of whom were past their deadlines, immediately sought out the president's closest advisor, White House janitor Harley V. Feeney. ''Well, the president decided that in order to straighten things out with the American public, he had to get things straight in his mind. He'd been in his office for three days now, and the session has not ended vet " Feeney discounted rumors that the president has spent the past three days locked in his office with Letter E ditori I )ea r~A i r. Heche: For one so eager to see an end to the war, discrimination, poverty and ignorance, your editorial Marches or protest 'lead to trouble'> of Feb. 8 does a disser vace not only to these causes but also yourself. Never has such relatively incisive analysis given rise to such fatuous conclusions. By way of background you provide us with such observations as: "alienation, injury, destruction of property and in some cases death are the result of marches, sit-ins, and pickets" and that such a state of affairs is usually brought on by the indiscriminate use of porcine power. Though these have become daily truisms, it's territory that can always bear covering again. Yet, in spite of these enormous concessions, you wrap up the case by counselling us (albeit in the name of "reasonableness") to eschew the constitutional right to peaceful demonstration of grievances in ~E THE NEW GRADING :RE GOOD ENOUGH FC OOD ENOUGH DAY/ nent ak you're C Honey Dingaling, a member of the White House secretarial pool. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird called a news con ference and announced that American troops were "not necessarily unengaged in any ground, air, sea incursions into, around, through, over, after, before or between Laos." Laird would not clarify his statement. His nurse then wheeled the secretary back to his home at the Happy Hollow Home for the Mentally Confu:;ed. Reports from the front indicate that troops are encountering "hellacious" resistance. General B.S. MacIllfuddy wired the president, calling for at least six more transports of reinforcing material, but refused to clarify. Student protests were equally confused throughout the country. favor of knocking on doors and chewing the fat with hard hats. Come now, Mr. Beebe, if the peaceful exercise of any con stitutional right is sufficient to bring down the jack boot of the power-that-be, what makes you think that the more "reasonable" alternative of doorbell-ringing will be long-tolerated should that technique also threaten to be successful? Such advice, in fact, puts the lie to your subsequent declaration welcoming the resurgence of anti-war activity, for, if such activity has not traditionally manifested itself in marches and demonstrations, then one is forced to conclude that there really never was a war in the first place. No, Mr. Beebe, I'm afraid it won't go down. It's obvious to this reader that your little gloss was little more than an exercise in wishful thinking. conceived well in SYSTEM.., R ME 4 onfused In many college, students marched against racism, poverty, pollution, war, the gold standard, and demonstrated support for Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Abbie Ho'Iman, W.C. Fields, Hugh Hefner, Kate Millet and the Saskatchewan Six. The group which has co ordinated the marches, the Inter galactic United People's Anti Repressive Liberation Front, met today and called for an end to the war in Laos. We will achieve this end by destroying the decadent capitalist system of government, by uniting all the people, and by bringing peace into the world." Inlormed sources say that the IUPAlF is Just as confused as everybody else. When asked to clear up the situation, one student leader told the news media "Phuque you." serV1ce adivance of the activities which actually transpired on the State House grounds last weekend. Furthermore, your red-baiting tactic of diverting attention to the supposed nihilistic-anarchistic compost ion of the demonstration organizers only served to confirm the questionable sincerity of your earlier disclaimers against the war. Indeed, such convoluted logic is nothing more than a thinly veiled apology for the status quo, and in no way sprang from the heart of one who has ever experienced the slightest doubt about the efficiacy or our social, political, and economic institutions. You are quite right, however, when you note that the past need not be repeated, but as long as we are fated to suffer such polemics from you and others (Now who could that be'? in positions of responsibility, history is bound to serve up more of the same old shit. ....'..A....P.'.A....K.EN
