* Acheson’s scorn for the rabble barely touched George Kennan’s. Though he was the most consistent dove of all on Vietnam, Kennan declared, “I have no enthusiasm for street demonstrators. They tend to oversimplify issues, to get out of hand, to be taken over by the wrong people,” he told The New York Times. Indeed, he regretted that police had not moved in faster to quell student uprisings. He was “sickened” over “the spectacle of angry, disorderly people, milling about, screaming obscenities, shouting other people down, brawling with the police. In the face of the provocation given, I find the charges of police brutality simply ludicrous.”
