Mr. Norman Thomas is a gentleman of venerable age, by his own confession half blind, and he has difficulty climbing a staircase, or maneuvering across a platform. But his wit is whole, his voice is steady and eloquent, and what he says is, alas, the most mixed- up nonsense being uttered this side of the gigglehouses. I do not mean to suggest that the gentleman is senile, he is most emphatically not anything of the sort. The views he utters about why we should withdraw from Vietnam are identically those of younger men in their physical prime.
