   It reminds me of the two months I lived in a rural community, and I was forced to go out and play football in addition to recess. I didn’t know the rules, and the coach never bothered to tell me them. I’d thought going out once in the cold of November and December had been more than enough. Still, it was a nice area to live.

   There were many changes such as turning the altar around so the priest can face the people, limiting fast and abstinence to Lent, dropping Vulgar Latin for the common language, ending overnight fasting before Communion, and allowing women as acolytes and without hats. I’d like to see more reforms.

   No, that was different. Those students knew some of the dead coming from Vietnam, and Nixon had promised he had a “plan to end the war” eighteen months earlier. Invading a neutral country expanded the war. Furthermore, now we are finding out that the administration had agents provacateurs on campuses, and it didn’t help that both Nixon and Agnew exacerbated the situation with their rhetoric. I saw first hand the reaction of my history teacher in seventh grade the morning after Nixon announced the invasion — Friday, 1 May 1970 — and I must admit I didn’t understand it at the time.

   “Neom’s Last Stand?” Is this the Battle of Little Big Cruella? By the way, I saw a video of the bones of the soldiers, which showed some bad teeth of the soldiers under thirty.

   You mean “good girl”, for Cricket was a b**ch. I’d rather she had had a gun.

    The president has little to do with campus protests. We have a federal system, remember? Would the cartoonist rather the president step in and make the incident worse as Nixon and Agnew did before Kent State? At least the protests were against a direct invasion of a neutral country, widening a frustrating war in Southeast Asia.
