SPU selects march organA campus co-ordinatingcommittee to organize a stu¬dent march on Washington,planned {or February 16 and17. was established at a meetingof the Student Peace Union (SPU)on Friday night.The “Washington Project” issponsored by Youth Turn TowardPeace, a nationally co-ordinatedeffort ot' several national groups,including Student Peace Union,Student SANE, Students for aDemocratic Society, and the Bos¬ton Committee for the WashingtonProject.Beginning on February 16,.several thousand students areexpected to go to Washingtonto visit Government officials, Con¬gressmen, and foreign embassies.Also planned is a mass rally inWashington, and a fund i-aisingcampaign over the next five weekson local campuses.Seven UC committees, whichwill work on finances, publicity,campus activities and relations,letter writing, bus arrangements,and petitions of the project wereestablished at the meeting. A policy statement to be pre¬sented to officials in Washingtonhas been circulated by the proj¬ect’s national planning committee.Protest civil defense billThe statement protests the pro¬posed civil defense bill beforeCongress, urges that atmospherictesting not be resumed, and callsupon the United States to take thefollowing initiatives for peace:1.A decision by the UnitedStates neither to resume atmos¬pheric testing nor to give nuclearweapons to any nation or alliancewhich does not now possess them.Also, the establishment withinthe US of a UN-inspected test¬monitoring system and a requestthat the otiier three nuclear Dow¬el's initiate comparable inspectionsystems.Smaller nations with nuclearreactors should similarly placethem under UN surveillance toguarantee their use only for peace¬ful purposes.A US announcement that itwon’t be the first nation to putnuclear weapons in space and aUS invitation of UN inspection of all payloads launched into spaceand a request of similar guaran¬tees from the Soviet Union.2. Withdrawal of missile bases,such as those in Turkey and Italy,whose vulnerability to attackmakes them useless except for thepurpose of a first strike againstthe Soviet Union; and an attemptto use this withdrawal as a basisfor negotiating agreements withthe Soviet Union on comparablesteps to be undertaken in recipro¬cation.3. Recognition that a settlementof the Beilin crisis can only beobtained within the context of theproblems of Germany and CentralEurope.US should discuss proposalstoward a solution on the basisof demilitarization, troop with¬drawal, and neutralization of Eastand West Germany.4. That the United Slates com¬mit itself fully to the struggleagainst poverty, hunger and di¬sease throughout the world. Thiswill require raising the industrialcapacity of the Asian, African,and Latin American states.Vol. 70 — No. 36 University of Chicaqo, Tuesday, Jan. 9, 1962 31Sirluck leaves UC post Fhoto by Auev bachGail Paradise addresses Hie organizational meeting of theWashington project.In addition to these four mainareas, in a number of other initia¬tives this government could under¬take, which would help to reducetension between the two majorpower blocs, were cited.Major power blocks citedAmong these were: (1) Planningfor the conversion of our industrialcapacity from military to non¬military production, and expand¬ing research into the economicproblems of disarmament;(2> Expansion of the Food forPeace agency to permit distribu¬tion of food surpluses, under UNauspices, to all hungry areas ofthe world without regard to thepolitical orientation of the govern¬ments involved;(3) Repeal of the ConnallyAmendment which states thatCongress decides whether to honordecisions of the World court so as tutions and precedents of worldlaw;(4) Opening ol U.S. media ofcommunication on the widest pos¬sible basis to spokesmen of foreigncountries, including especially theSoviet Union, with the explicitrequest that the Soviet Unionallow American citizens to beheard more widely in the Sovietpress, radio, and television.”While the initial sponsor at theUniversity is the Student PeaceUnion, other student organizationsare being asked to cosponsor localactivity. POLIT and WUCB havealready agreed to support thisproject. Participation in this proj¬ect is not limited to SPU membersand an attempt will be madeto involve the widest possible par¬ticipation from the entire campus.POLIT recommended at its Sun¬day caucus that Student govern¬ment become a sponsor of thesteering committee for the projectand send one paid representativeto Washington.A foremost authority onthe works of John Milton,professor of English ErnestSirluck, will leave his postat the Univeristy and return to hisnative Canada.Sirluck 43, who has been a mem¬ber of the English departmentsince 1947, will become professorof English at university college atthe University of Toronto nextautumn.“I find the University of Chicagovery exiciting and satisfying,” saidSirluck, who emphasized that heis leaving “with deepest regret.”and "only because of the excitmentof the new undertaking.”As his new job will not he “lim¬ited to departmental or divisionalresponsibilities,” Sirluck said hefound it “too interesting and chal¬lenging to resist.”In 1959, he edited Volume II ofthe Complete Prose Works of JohnMilton. The Seventeenth CenturyNews called this volume “the ma¬jor event of the year in Miltonstudies.”Sirluck has received two majorawards for his work on Milton: aGuggenheim fellowship in 1954-55and a $7,000 fellowship from theAmerican Council of Learned So¬cieties in 1958-59.In addition to Milton, Sirluck’sspecial fields of interest are Spen¬ser, Shakespeare, and the Puritanrevolution.Among his numerous articles areMilton’s “Idle Right Hand,” “Aero- pagitica and a forgotten licensingcontroversy,” “Shakespeare andJonson among the civil war pamph¬leteers.” and “Milton Revises theFaerie Queen.”Sirluck received his BA fromthe University of Manitoba in 1940.He received his MA in 1941 and his PhD in 1948 from the Univer¬sity of Toronto, where he was alecturer in 1946-47.From 1947-52, he was assistantprofessor of English at UC. Hewas associate professor of Englishfrom 1952-58, and was made a pro¬fessor in 1958.Retiring Professor Ernest Sirluck UC development officeto get radical changesSweeping changes in theorganization of the Universityof Chicago’s development of¬fice were announced yester¬day by President George WellsBeadle.Long the subject of discussion,the development office had beencriticized for its lack of contactwith the work of the University.A study of the work of the officehas been in progress since theresignation three months ago ofvice president for developmentHenry T. Sulcer.The title of vice president fordevelopment was abolished in yes¬terday's reorganization. Responsi¬bility for the work of the office hasbeen transferred to Lowell Cog-geshall, who was promoted to vicepresident ot the University, sec¬ond position ih the administration,in last October’s shakeup of theAd building.Continuing in development officeposts are James Sheldon, assistantto the president; Carl Larson,director of public relations, andWilliam Morgenstern. secretary ofthe University.The development office is re¬ sponsible primarily for finding andsecuring financial support for theUniversity. In a memo to deansand department chairmen. Presi¬dent Beadle said. “In formulatingproposals for financial support,these men will expect to establishclose and effective working rela¬tions with deans, directors, depart¬ment chairmen, and certain indi¬vidual faculty members.It is hoped by UC administra¬tors that this increased contactwill enable the development officeto more accurately reflect thework of the University.Concerning Coggeshall’s new re¬sponsibility, Beadle said. “I amconfident that the University willbenefit greatly from Dr. Cogge-shall’s years of experience as afaculty member and an adminis¬trator. He is widely known amonggovernmental officials and founda¬tion executives. In addition fie hasan excellent understanding of theUniversity.”Discussing the purpose of thechanges, Beadle stated. “I amconvinced that we are now pre¬pared to move forw ard with imag¬ination, vigor, and effectiveness upromoting the interests of theUniversity.”Outlookby Gene VinogradoffWASHINGTON, DC — Asthe 87th Congress prepares toopen its second session tomor¬row, the outlook for majorfederal aid to education legis¬lation appears dimmer thanit has at any time since 1957.This may come as a surpriseto those recalling the major em¬phasis the Kennedy administra¬tion placed on aid to educationin the President's campaign andhis legislative recommendationslast year, but there are hardpolitical reasons for it.The first of these is that the dismal for majorKennedy administration feels thatother, more immediate problemsdemand greater attention thaneducation.The Berlin crisis and the tensesituation in southeastern Asia aretwo foreign policy problems whichthey feel demand immediate act¬ion, even though Congress, theonly body with power to providefederal aid to education, is notdirectly connected with them.Another problem which the ad¬ministration places ahead of edu¬cation is the liberalizing of USforeign trade. In this problem,Congress is directly concerned.President Kennedy has spokenfor several weeks before leaders of business, labor and lobbyinggroups about his proposed re¬visions of the foreign trade laws,and leaders of both the Houseand tlie Senate anticipate thataction on the trade proposals willabsorb most of the session’s ef¬fort, if not most of its time.Senator Mike Mansfield (Dem.,Montana), the Senate majorityleader, has slated the tariff de¬bates for the month of February,complying with the President'srequest for prompt action. Thedebates may go on for more thana month.Republicans have already begunattacking the fewr specifics of thetariff revision recommendations aid to educationwhich President Kennedy liasmade public, and observers be¬lieve that this hard fought issuewill make it more difficult forthe administration to gain neededliberal Republican support for itseducation recommendations.Further, within the fields thatthe department of health, educa¬tion and welfare is concerned,medical care for the aged is con¬sidered more important than aidto education.In light of the traditional rulewhich divides the administration’sand Congress’s considerationsfairly evenly among the eightmajor cabinet divisions, action oneducation appears even less likely. There are also some simplerpolitical cards stacked against aidto education in this session.One reason which both adminis¬trative and Congressional educa¬tion hackers feel strongly aboutis that “educators are the worstlobbyists in history,” in the wal'd*of Philip DesMarais, deputy as¬sistant secretary for legislation.HEW Secretary Ribicoff madethis point several times in a seriesof speeeties on major campusesfollowing the adjournment ofCongress last September.The reasons, DesMarais said,are that “the NEA (NationalEducation association) has won*(continued on page 51* i' Hillel lectureEichmann trial useless Students aid Tax projectThe Eichmann trial hadvery little useful purpose,claimed professor of law andsociology Hans Zeisel on Fri¬day night.Zeisal delivered a talk entitled“Conscience, command, and moralresponsibility: Reflections on theEichmann case,” at the first ofthree Friday evening Hillel found¬ations fireside programs.The only value Zeisel found inthe Eichmann trial was its ex¬posure to the public eye of theatrocilies committed by the Nazis.Zeisel listed four main justifi¬cations for holding criminal trials:to rid society of a person becausethere is Ihe danger that he maycommit his crime again; to tryto improve the criminal; to set anexample to others; and to preventothers, either through fear of pun¬ishment of by exposing the crime’sheinousness, from commiting thesame crime.None of these reasons is appli¬cable in Eichmann’s case accord¬ing to Zeisel. because of the gross¬ness of the crime, the improba¬bility of its recurrence, and thecircumstances of the defendant. Had Zeisel felt that the trialhad any value, he would have con¬doned the Israeli’s government’sactions. However, he attackedthem, on the grounds that kid¬napping Eichmann was illegal andthat Israel did not have the juris¬diction to try Eichmann.Had Eichmann not carried outhis orders, there were 10,000 otherNazis who would have, accordingto Zeisel, each proud to have hadthe honor of doing so.Finally, ansewring the questionwhich was the title of his dis¬cussion, “Who are the guilty?”Zeisel blamed the Allies.Until the end of 1941, he as¬serted, we could have saved mostor all of the 6,000,000 Jews whowere killed just by allowing themto emigrate from Germany toour shores. The United Slateshowever was then curtailing thenumber of German immigrants itwas allowing to enter the country,he said.Although he practices no reli¬gion, Zeisel spent three weeks injail in Germany. He w as closelyconnected to a number of victimsof German Nazi persecution. University of Chicago stu¬dents will have a chance tohelp lay the ground work fora massive voter educationexperiment as part of the classwork for Soc. II. The experiment,known as the Chicago Districtproject, is intended to see if alarge heterogeneous communitycan educate itself to the alterna¬tives facing the United States inforeign affairs.A limited number of studentswho choose to participate will dobackground work for the projectinstead of a term paper this quar¬ter.Assembling a “social profile” ofthe 2nd Illinois Congressional dis¬trict — the area covered by theproposed project will be the stu¬dents’ task, according 1o Professorof anthropology Sol Tax, an in¬structor in the Soc.

The other70% said they earned money serv¬ing as industrial consultants, or inother part-time or summer em¬ployment. “We parents object to the ar¬bitrary manner in whieh thesehooi board, 2 days before theholidays, ordered the transfer ofsome 35 students attending Burn¬side elementary sehooi to theGillespie school just four weeksbefore the children are expectedto pass into a higher grade.”The statement continued thatthe transfer was undesirable be¬cause of the number of blockschildren would have to w'alk toschool. “In many instances ourchildren have to cross a total of17 streets, going to school,’’ theystated.The parents suggested trans¬ferring all children living east ofCottage Grove avenue to the Perryschool, located at 91 street andUniversity, “where vacant seatsand low7 classroom averages exist(27 pupils to a classroom, theboard’s minimum is 30-35). If thiswere done “the crowded situa¬tion at Burnside school would begreally alleviated, and this situa¬tion exists because the boardmaintains a policy of segregation.”The children, so redistricted,would walk the same distance tosehooi that they would to Gilles¬pie and would not have to crossmajor thoroughfares such as Cot¬tage Grove avenue, according tothe parents.The parents feel that requir¬ing children living west ot • Cot¬tage Grove to re-enter Burnside,and permitting other schools tospread out and “absorb the over¬flow7 of students from adjacentareas in a fair and equitable man¬ ner,” would ease the crowdedconditions in the heart of thecommunity.Oscar Shabat, of the Chicagoboard of education’s human re-lations committee explained theboard’s reluctance to transferstudents to Perry, as the Burn¬side parents have requested.The transfer was approved bythe board some time ago, he ex¬plained. The choice was seventhor eighth graders; and the latteraccepted the option to finish atBurnside, now a kindergartenthrough eighth grade school.Gillespie is an upper grade, orseventh and eighth grade center,opened last September, he stated.“Gillespie represents a differentprogram in a qualitative sense,**he said.“There is a shop and a full timelanguage instructor — Frenchand Spanish, and other specializedinstructors. In order to have aneffective program, there must beat least 300 to 500 pupils atGillespie,” he continued.For these reasons, he stated,the board was planning lo in¬crease the number of students atGillespie.He explained that the uppergrade centers provide “richerprograms for early adolescence.”Refuting the charge that thedistance to Gillespie is undesir¬ably far, Shabot answered thatthe most any student would haveto travel to Gillespie would beone and a quarter miles, andthat most would have to travelthree-fourth’s of a mile or less.Distances to Perry would heapproximately the same, he added.foreign car hospitalsee page 8USEDnew TEXT BOOKSSTUDENT SUPPLIESFOUNTAIN PENS — NOTE BOOKS-STATIONERY-LAUNDRY CASESBRIEF CASES-SPORTING GOODSTYPEWRITERS sold-rented-repairedPOSTAL STATION RENTAL LIBRARYWOODWORTH’SBOOKSTORE1311 CAST 57th STREIT2 BLOCKS CAST OF MANVEL BALLSTORE MOORS; DAILY 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. . . .

Theopportunity for long range plan¬ning will disappear.But the majority of the elec¬torate, followed (if a bit un¬willingly) by the majority of Con¬gressmen, cannot have their waybecause the House Rules commit¬tee and its conservative blocstill controls all bills sent to theHouse floor, and the hand-pickedaddition to the committee lastyear — Representative James De¬laney (Dem., New York) is im¬movable in his opposition to alleducation bills which do not aidCatholic schools.Further, the President has beenbeset by dozens of foreign anddomestic problems which require so much of his attention that hecannot give the strong leader-ship to education aid which westill believe he wants to give.But the most dismaying aspectof the picture is that the leadingcritics of US education — suchas Yale’s President A. WhitneyGriswold, former Harvard Presi-dent James B. Conant, and for¬mer UC Chancellor Robert May¬nard Hutchins — cannot agreeon what course federal aid shouldtake to solve the problems be¬setting education.The only thing they can agreeon is that the magnitude of theproblems are such that federalaid is necessary to solve them.It seems to use that at leastsome of the needs are clear:there are too few classrooms forhundreds of thousands of second¬ary school pupils, and there willsoon be too few for as many col¬lege students. Federal assistancein school construction is plainlyneeded, and Catholic Democratsshould certainly see that this needoutweighs the problems faced byparochial schools.Teachers are in short supply,and qualified teachers in any onehigh school can usually be counted on the fingers of one hand. Fed¬eral assistance in the forms ofcourses, increased salaries, andfellowships to teachei'S should bean obvious need to Congressmenwhatever their religion.Needy and talented studentsai’e unable to continue their edu¬cation because of their lack offunds; the amendment to theNDEA making more fellowshipsavailable and doubling the maxi¬mum amount of loan money toany single institution should be anissue independent of religion, asthe entile NDEA was when it wasoriginally passed.But these are already in thenature of stop-gap solutions to aseries of emergencies; they are notlong-range solutions to the deep¬er problems of American educa¬tion.These are the questions whichmust be decided as soon as pos¬sible; not included in them, wefeel, is the question of the statusof parochial schools.Senator Wayne Morse (Dem.,Oregon) is going to projiose a billthis session to make grants toparochial schools; the bill willcontain a clause permitting any¬one who believes such grantsunconstitutional to sue to stopthem.This will place the issue of con¬stitutionality squarely before thecourts, where il properly belongs.If it is adopted, this bill willclear the main obstacles both topassage of the immediately need¬ed measures and to a deep evalua¬tion of US education.Congressmen of both partiesshould adopt it; they can then be¬gin to solve the pressing edu¬cation problems.DR.

Whenquestions concerning such associa¬tion are raised, NBC seeks toobtain information as to the factsfrom the performers concerned.“Two of the present four mem¬bers of ihe singing group knownas The Weavers have refused totestify before a congressional com¬mittee on Ibis matter.

This is import¬ant, especially in the televisionindustry which has in the pastproven itself highly sensitive tomany forms of pressure, boihwithin and without the industry.At the moment, there is nolegislation that I know of whichbars Communist party membersfrom appearing on television. It istherefore a fortuitous insult andan invasion of privacy to requireperformers to absolve themselvesbefore the officials of a televisionnetwork."This land is mv land"This, T think, is why the Weav¬ers refused to sign. As one of thesingers told reporters, “We resentthe indignity that such a requestimplies. Moreover, we feel verystrongly that no private businessestablishment such as NBC' hasthe power or the right to aeouircproof of a citizen's patriotism.”Knowing and active member¬ship in the Communist party ofthe United States is illegal. Butprivacy and freedom of belief arestill considered relatively sacred.In fact, I think that NBC offi¬cials have failed to grasp the realimportance of their responsibilityto a free society. The FederalCommunications act requires thatradio and television stations oper¬ate to serve the public interest,convenience, and necessity. If pri¬vately owned networks and tele-sion stations who live in fear ofcontroversy are allowed to depriveself respecting artists of work,they are hardly acting in the in¬terest of the performers, the audi¬ence, or in their own interest.Awards offered fo UCfor study abroadFour awards for study inGermany and an additionaltwo for study at the Univer¬sity of Paris will be offeredby the German government toUniversity of Chicago graduatestudents in 1962-63.Three awards will be given bythe German Academic Exchangeservice for study at any univer¬sity in West Germany, includingBerlin.

Kennedy emphasized publiclylast year that he considered any. government aid to church-sup¬ported institutions unconstitu¬tional, and McCormack expressedthe view that it would be per¬missible under certain conditions.Rayburn unenthusiasticThe administration’s educa¬tion proposals ran into difficultywith former House Speaker Sam. Rayburn last year because Ray¬burn was “not enthusiastic” aboutany federal aid to education, andin previous years had opposed aidto elementary and secondaryschool teachers’ salaries and any„ aid more far reaching than thatprovided to help construct schoolplants.Only on the National DefenseEducation act of 1958 tNDEA),.which provides federal loans andfellowships directly to studentshad Rayburn modified this posi¬tion.Observers differ on whetherthe McCormack-Kennedy mutual, dislike will be more harmful foreducation legislation than Ray¬burn’s lukewarm attitude, but. this reporter believes that thephilosophic and personal differ¬ences between McCormick andi he President are likely to bemore serious than Rayburn’s milddislike of the education proposals.In view of ihese difficulties, iheadministration has not yet de-' cided what specific educationmeasures it will propose, and itis a long way from deciding howhard to push those proposals itdoes make/Administration not firmEven though the administra-' i ion’s ideas on what to proposehave not yet become firm, the* Senate and House leaders of therespective education subcommit¬tees feel ihe bill with the best'i dance of passing both houses isi lie Higher Education bill, drafted> last year along the lines of ad¬ministration recommendations.In essence, this bill would aidcolleges and universities in theconstruction of facilities and thepayment of teachers, especiallyin the fields of science, languagesand others related to nationaldefense.Senator Wayne Morse (Dem,Oregon), chairman of the Senatesubcommittee on education, be¬lieves this bill will reach theSenate floor by the end ofMarch.Although he feels it is too farv away to make accurate predic-lions, he thinks it has a goodchance of passing.Representative Adam Claytonx Powell (Dem., New York), chair¬man of the house education andlabor committee, said in a speech»* last year deploring the defeat ofseveral major education bills that„ the mood of this House is such' hat” only legislation aiding insti¬tutions of higher education would» have a chance of passing at leastuntil next year’s elections, andprobably until the next presi¬dential election.* Senator Morse will proposedong wdth the Higher Educationhill a series of amendments tothe NDEA, but one administra¬tion expert privately concededthat their chances of passing were"very slim indeed.”The reason for this is that£ m ongress last year extended theMJEA, which was due to expire, for two more years. “It is un¬likely,” the administration expertsaid, “that Congress will changeits mind about this only sixmonths after deciding it.”Among the amendments whichMorse will propose is one toabolish the controversial dis¬claimer affidavit, which a studentapplying for an NDEA loan orfellowship must sign, and to re¬place it with an affidavit dis¬claiming membership in the Com¬munist party or any other “sub¬versive organization.”Morse himself favored droppingthe affidavit altogether, but oihermembers of the subcommittee —notably conservatives Barry Gold-water (Rep., Arizona) and JohnTower (Rep., Texas) voted to in¬clude the substitute affidavit.The University of Chicago andapproximately 25 other institu¬tions withdrew’ from the loan andfellowship programs 2 years agoto protest the affidavit.More important amendments,Morse feels, are those doublingthe maximal amount of loanmoney any single college or uni¬versity can receive. < The maxi¬mum is now $250,000 per year)and providing a great many moregraduate fellowships. _ UC biochemist Samuel B.Weiss has been awarded theTheobald Smith award for“promising work by a youngmedical scientist.”Presented by the Americanassociation for the advancementof science, the award is given for“demonstrated research in thefield of medical sciences, takinginto consideration independenceof thought and originality.”Weiss and two colleagues, To-kumasa Nakamoto and PeterGeiduschek, have been studyingthe chain of commands within thece)l; i.e., how orders are trans¬muted from deoxyribonucleicacid <DNA), the genetic substancein the nucleus, to other parts ofthe cell where basic biologicalprocesses take place.DNA, the “command giving”genetic material, triggers themanufacture of the “messenger”material RNA. RNA transmitsinstructions from DNA to pro¬tein manufacturing structures inthe cell.In 1961 he reported that he andhis colleagues had developed anew method of synthesizing thegenetic messenger material RNA,and had demonstrated that DNAGRAD SCHOOL DEADLINEThe deadline for applicationto graduate schools is January15. is essential to the production ofthe messenger material ribonucle¬ic acid (RNA). If DNA is re¬moved, the production of RNAmessengers ceases; and if DNAchanges, then RNA is changed toaccommodate the commandingsubstance (DNA).Weiss and his co-workers pro¬duced an explanation for thetransmission of chemical mes¬sages. According to them, DNAbegins the action. The RNA mes¬senger is built upon a DNA tem¬plate, calling for precise amountsof four building blocks arrangedin the proper sequence. DNAfrom a single species of plant oranimal life makes only one singlechemical type of RNA.Using the new method of syn¬thesis of RNA, DNA’s “master¬mind” role was demonstrated intwo ways: first, when a DNA-destroying enzyme was added,RNA synthesis was abruptlyhalted. Although more DNA wasadded the manufacture of RNAwas slower than it was before thesystem had been altered. WhenDNA was isolated from mam¬malian tissue and bacteria, syn¬thesis of RNA proceeded nor¬mally.A study of the ratio of the fourbuilding blocks incorporated intoRNA w'hen different species ofDNA acted as primers indicatedthat the percentage of each build¬ing block in the finished productwas remarkably similar to thePIONEERINGSomewhere out there, beyond the realm of man’s presentunderstanding, lies an idea.

Your breadth of experi¬ence in rural life, Church of theBrethren, labor organization work,and teaching has provided youwith a set of values and criteriafor appraising the initial purposesand developments in some of theprincipal power clusters in mod¬em times. Despite intense involve¬ment in the very heart of dy¬namic organization, you have beenkept from capitulating to some ofthe values our society seems toapprove. I mean prestige, esteem,adulation, etc. In an off-stagewhisper, however, a reviewercannot but suspect that a certainamount of prestige, even emin-nence, accrues from the practiceof appraising Hit' capitulations ofothers.I realize that your intention isnot to explain the actions of thosewho are caught up in the tides ofpower, nor are you here attempt¬ing a rationale for alternative op¬tions or a more durable objective.Nevertheless.
