MICHAEL HARRINGTON We have go get Nixon out. don't think we can tolerate the man any longer. We need the coalition of the two George's: George Meany and George McGovern. We have to be as radical as our circumstances. Maybe the series reminded everyone of their own palit- ical apathy in the 1972 presidential elections when the people chose the lesser of two evils in the form of Richard Nixon. Maybe it explained why so many people are so upset over the operations in Washington and San Clemente. Maybe it clarified just what politicians and the press are saying when they cry, 'Impeach, impeach! Maybe it pointed out that, as long as everyone of us puts up with trickery and injustice in government, that's what we deserve. The crisis in confidence finds its well spring within you and will be there as long as you really don't give a damn. Carl Rowan, Oct. 23, 1973

JAMES MACGREGOR BURNS jocular and sneering phrases. David Schoenbrun cal- led him the most extensive liar of them all. Senator Frank Church reminded us, ''He is not above the law. Representative Philip Crane, a conservative, felt betrayed' by the President. Michael Harrington summed up his feelings with l don't think we can tolerate the man any longer. But those remarks, far from being purely emotional and irrational responses to administrative acts, were explained, clarified, and given meaning. Impeach- ment was regarded seriously by each speaker and was not just a word thrown in to add sensation. Even I.LF. Stone, perhaps the most anti-Nixon spokesman, cringed when the crowd applauded his call for im- peachment, adding in a sad, sober voice, it was an occasion for thought, not applause. With all the information, the opinion, the answers and the ideas dissolved into the minds of particip- ants, the Crisis in Confidence series may be remem- bered for something else. It gave the university something it didn't have last semester, or last year: a sense that the academic en- vironment does not remove a student, or a professor, from the real world and, sooner or later, ignorance of the actions of that world will prove fatal to liberty. FRANK CHURCH
