In reference to the recent televised
atrocities, rhetoric of L.B.J.:

                  Fellow Americans, the faceless little
          men in black pajamas are the villains in
          Vietnam. The V.C. tax collectors
         terrorize the countryside for piasters
         to pay for the war.

                  We are humanitarians.

                 ......

                                THE CREDIBILITY GAP

            .. . . .. . . .... ..

         In reference to the recent rhetoric of
L.B.J., tangled objection:

                  Is it inconvenient to remember that
          the 17th parallel is an artificial
         boundary separating peoples who have no
          racial or cultural differences?

                 When will you stop playing "Button-
         Button, Who's Got The Button," and put
          the obvious politico-economic furbish
          through your imperialistic button-hole?

                 The Tonkin Resolution has become
         revolution, and the muddy Mekong is
         clearer than the ambiguous war propaganda
         which assumes power and truth are synonyms
         and spells the peace of Vietnam with a
         capital P-i-e-c-e.
