By Barry Gold water I KNOW THAT all across the country people are tired of the way things have been going in America. They have had enough domestic violence of all kinds; they are tired of skyrocketing taxes and increasing Federal interference in local affairs; and they find our posture in Vietnam intolerable. They are sick, but not in the way meant by the detractors of America. They are sick of the way things have been going for too long a time. They are certain that the remedy does not lie in four more years of the same old bankrupt liberalism, and they correctly regard this election as the time to make this judgment count. The trouble is that some conservatives are thinking of expressing this judgment by voting for George Wallace. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that such a vote is going anywhere but right down a rathole. I understand, of course, why George Wallace does appeal to some conservatives. Many of the things he says are true, and he often says them very well indeed. We agree with his appeal to patriotism, and we have had quite enough of self, styled protesters with Viet Cong flags whose heroes are Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh. We know that a university should serve learning and scholarship rather than function as a sort of guerrilla bastion. We agree that we need a return to law and order in this country, and that some recent Supreme Court decisions have made the work of our police unnecessarily difficult. We know that intellectuals—the “intellectual morons” as he calls them—who have been living in an Alice-In-Wonderland world of fantasy for years. And we all know (as a matter of fact, I know all too well from personal experience four years ago) the kind of political bias that too often pervades our mass media. In all these things Wallace is right in what he says, and that is why he does appeal to some conservatives. . . . Now let’s look at something else: Although some of you may disagree, I stand on the proposition that Governor Wallace has absolutely no chance to be elected President of the United States. Now with that fact as part of your thinking, ask yourself this question: “If there were only two men in the race, Hubert Humphrey and Dick Nixon, who in your opinion, would make the better President of the United States?” If my hypothesis is true—and I’m sure it is—a vote for Wallace that otherwise would have gone to Dick Nixon profits only one person— our old friend Hubert Horatio Humphrey. Is that what you really want?. . . We CONSERVATIVES have made great strides since i960 Let’s not throw that progress down Governor Wallace’s rat-hole. Between now and November 5, let’s make our voices heard and on November 5 let’s make our voices count..—National Review.

WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY, JR.’s ON THE RIGHT

WHAT HAPPENDED IN CUBA? Mr. Nixon’s unspecified solutions to the Vietnam War are more easily understandable than his vagueness on the subject of Cuba. It is more, really, than vagueness; it has been something close to studied neglect. Cuba , which so recently was the principal foreign policy issue for the United States, is now something we simply do not talk about. There are those who struggle to keep Cuba alive. Most notably, these days, Mr. Michael Thompson, who is running for Congress from the relevant area in Florida, i.e. Miami where there is a heavy concentration of Cuban refugees who understandably wonder whether American foreign policy will ever again focus on the goal of Cuba libre. Another is the distinguished Cuban jurist, Dr. Mario Lazo whose book, “Dagger in the Heart,” has just been published. A few considerations: 1) not only is Cuba, at this moment, an effective arm of the world Communist movement, it can be argued that Castro's Cuba is an ideological bureau of standards zhich measures the rectitude of ess rigorous revolutions. The :omforting notion that Cuba lyng as far away as she does from

Soviet Russia, would logically evolve toward liberalism, has proved about as reliable as our complementary optimism to the effect that the Soviet Union would never interfere with, say, the evolutionary bourgeoisification of Czechoslovakia. It is obvious to everyone who recognizes the obvious, i.e. you and me, that Cuba, far from stretching towards the capitalism which reality would dictate, is the prisoner of a dictator increasingly frenzied in ideology. It is, I think, generally conceded at this point that Fidel Castro is not very bright, as so often is the case with fanatics. Most recently, he moved to perfeet the Cuban Revolution by putting an end to local ownership of hotdog stands, as defiant of true socialism. Somewhere along the line the question arises, what should America's attitude be to such ideologized delirium? Are American interests still at stake? Have we permanently disowned the Monroe Doctrine? 2) The problem is that John F. Kennedy promised Nikita Khrushchev that if NK would withdraw his missiles, JFK wouldpromise not to liberate Cuba. That is the Continued on Page 5

am back on a diet again, thanks to assorted, unendurable

pressures.

I’m determined to lose 30 pounds or more, just to make a liar out of several score of sneeringly doubtful associates, ineluding my wife. Sunday night I sat watching television, so hungry I could have eaten a set of harness, studs and all. During the day Sunday I had gorged myself on at least 150 calories. I stuffed myself on lettuce and a carrot stick Jor lunch and enjoyed a dandy cup of strained collards for supper. All evening I had been watching the people eat, eat, eat on TV. It was like the time I quit smoking, only worse. John Wayne kept gnawing at a chicken leg and the people in the commercial were eating barbecue. Then came a scene where they were roasting whole pigs on a spit. I ran out to the kitchen and clutched a double carrot stick. My wife came out and studied me mockingly. “Well, blubber.hips,” she said, “I knew you weren’t man enough to stick to it.” It was a cruel thing to say to a man who hadn’t eaten a solid morsel since Thursday noon. Nevertheless, it had the desired effect. “All right, ” I said, “I’ll show you I can kick the food, just like I did cigarettes and playing Casino.” “No,” she said, “It’s too late for you.” I stormed out of the kitchen, mad enough to go out and show the world I can be as undernourished-looking as necessary to be accepted by a string bean society. My wife was far from my only motivation to lose weight. One of the main ones was clothes. Gentlemen, let me inform you that they aren’t making clothes for folks with fallen chests this year. The pants are smaller through the hips than they are in the waist. You have to take your shoes off and learn to lockyour ankle into a vertical line with your leg in order to get them on. They at least have the advantage of being snug enough around the calves to double as garters. This is not the first time I’ve been through the diet thing. The last outbreak was about a year ago. I lost 20 pounds that time. I starved myself into a Ghandi-like state. During that onslaught I kicked dogs and even ceased to be in favor of good weather. My temper became so short that I would fly into a tantrum every time the refrigerator went on. All it accomplished was to make my clothes fit worse. “But, dear,” my wife said, “you look worlds better.” “Yeah, that’s okay if you’re bucking for Mr. America. But I’m hungry all the time,” I told her. So I commenced to put away the ice cream and drink the cokes and eat Fritos and here I am again, lost in avoirdupois. You would think that a fellow could go to flab if he felt like it. Not in this day and age. Somebody is at him all the time. The skinny ones with the knobby knees must multiply faster. They also are more clever. They invent diet drinks and Ivy League suits and acturial tables and then enlist the women

to their side.

It would seem that any woman with a head on her shoulders would want a man that could make it home against a stiff breeze. Apparently not. They all show up on television with skeletons duded up in narrow lapel suits. The wives at home say, see, that’s how you ought to look, you soppy sausage. Gone are the days when a man could cram down the biscuits and pork chops and red eye gravy and navy beans and Karo pecan pie and come away from the table feeling like he’d been

some-place.

Now it’s barley soup and no-calorie soup dressing and crunchy tidbits like radish rings and cucumber curliques. They say we’ll live longer by staying slim. Maybe so. I wonder it It’s worth It. Contlnued on Pase 5

Hanoi reply expected today By RICHARD HUGHES PARIS (UPI)—U.S. diplomats gathered in an atmosphere of optimism today for their 27th negotiating session with the North Vietnamese. The meeting may bring Hanoi’s reply to an American plan for shifting the Vietnam War from the battlefield to a peace conference table. Diplomatic observers cited developments in Saigon, Washington and Paris plus a recent silence from Hanoi for a cautious feeling North Vietnam may say yes after keeping the world on tenterhooks for a week. The talks were scheduled to open at 5:30 a.m. EDT. If U.S. roving ambassador W. Averell Harriman got Hanoi’s agreement here, it was expected to be announced only in Washington. For the reported U.S. plan hinges on a total halt to American bombardment of North Vietnam in return for Hanoi in turn de-escalating the war. Only the White House could announce a bombing halt, American observers said. Since the talks opened here in the old Majestic Hotel, with the French as eager hosts, Hanoi insisted there could be no progress on toning down the war until the U.S. air and sea raids against North Vietnam were stilled. Presiddfit Johnson’s March 31 limiting of the strikes to North Vietnam’s southern panhandle managed only to get Hanoi to agree to the preliminary talks that opened here May 13. According to diplomatic reports, the Johnson administration last week moved to break the deadlock in the struggle for Continued on Page 6
