I , , dAvid haIderstaivi In a talk covering everything fronn Watergate to the future of Vietnam, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam spoke to over 300 listeners in Benson on September 26. Blaming the electronic presidency, a phenomenan caused by the ever-enlarging power of TV, Halberstam claimed that the United States had relin- quished far too much authority to the Presidency since the advent of the Cold War. Warning that huge imbalances of power still exist in Washington, the journalist urged that the Senate not relax their guard now that the War and the Watergate controversy are over. We have become the most manipulative society in the world where reality is what you can project it to be, not what it really is.
