Various grabs 1966-69, California, USA
first grab, doorstop
I don’t think that taking to the streets, and rioting and disorder, has ever solved anything, or ever will.
next grab, speech
I was picketed by some youngsters a couple of days ago who had signs that said, ‘make love not war’. The trouble is they didn’t look like they were capable of doing either. This fella that was doing the talking, he had a haircut like Tarzan, he walked like Jane and smelled like Cheetah.
next grab
I am sick and tired of the argument about whether some effort to enforce law and order is going to escalate anything at all. Plain truth of the matter is that this has to stop, and it has to stop like the day before yesterday, and it’s going to be stopped, whatever it takes.
next grab, speaking on college campus
I would like to propose that the issue is that on the campuses, it’s you who are adults, you who are entrusted to those young people and their guidance, have a responsibility to make it plain to them from the very beginning that you yourselves do not tolerate the kind of conduct that has led to the burning of Wheeler Hall, that has led to two murders on the campus of UCLA,
You’ve created an atmosphere on the campus where nobody wants to listen!
You are a liar. You talk about political speeches to them, don’t you, don’t you make a political speech of that kind.
All of it began the first time some of you who know better…let young people think that they had the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest.
