| Bible Thought And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt i be called., Sought out, A city not forsaken.- Isaiah 62:12. When others look at you, do they see in you one of God’s holy people, one of His redeemed? If not, why not? —Buckley

program. And black South Africans had been invited to speak only 18 hours before the conference was scheduled to begin. Get it? It is “understandable” for students to break up a meeting, to jeer off the platform, unheard, invited guests: when such a meeting is set up without direct consulation with the black students at that university. If one applies these rules rigorously then no Republican would be permitted to speak without first consulting campus Democrats. Perhaps as we become more familiar with African history, no anti-South African speaker from the Pondo tribe will be permitted to speak without consulting local Zulus. One contrasts the treatment of Robert Kennedy in South Africa, with the treatment of a South African at an allegedly civilized American campus. I met Professor George Kennan a couple of weeks ago and he told me that he had given up speaking at campuses before general audiences because “I have grown too old for riotous demonstrations.” Mr. Kennan is not all that old, which is his way of sharpening the point, one supposes. And sure enough, one sees in the news: “Kennan Analysis/Coolly Received.” The headline refers to a speech delivered the night before Professor Kennan to the illustrious gathering of intellectuals from all over the world who are supposed to instruct Mr. Nixon on how to conduct himself, the nation, and the world. Mr. Kennan spoke rather pessimistically about the way in which America has been squaring off to some of its problems, including the “good portion of our student youth (who are) floundering around as it is in its own terrifying wilderness of drugs, pornography, and political hysteria.” Lillian Heilman, the playwright who used to express herself politically by joining Mr. Stalin’s little front organizations, and who declined in 1952 to say whether or not she was a Communist, jumped to her feet in protest and said that she wondered just how two people such as Mr. Kennan and herself could have come from the ranks of the same generation. She defended the young students Mr. Kennan had criticized as far better people than her own generation had been, notwithstanding their foibles, adding, “Since when is youth not allowed to be asses?” To which the embarrassed company did not make the obvious comment that surely for at least as long as old ladies are allowed to be asses. In San Diego a Professor at the University of California writes that one of the reasons why the protesters have got hold of the colleges is because of the extraordinary imbalance of opinion among the faculty. At UCSD, he said, “the faculty is composed of 95 per cent registered Democrats and five per cent Republicans.” Talk about participatory democracy! The liberal left doesn’t know how to cope with students who announce in the name of freedom that two speakers on South Africa will not be free to speak. And those who listen to George Kennan do not know how to react to his wisdom, other than angrily, unbelieving, self-deceiving.
