He added that the freedom to protest should
be supported, as it is one of the fundamental
rights of a democracy.
James said she has not yet formulated her
position on the current war.
“In 1970, when I was a senior in college, the
United States had been embroiled in Vietnam
for a long time,” she said, while the Persian
Gulf war is still young.
Christopher Kimball, an assistant history
professor who has studied social movements,
said people on both sides of the rally conflict
are using Vietnam as a reference.
“People who support the war criticize the
peace movements as not being serious,” he
said. “They say they (protesters) just want to
march or protest because that’s what their par
ents did.”
Protesters don’t want to see the current war
turn into another Vietnam, Kimball said.
Bcnford said demonstrators have mobilized
early against the Persian Gulf war because anti
war organizations have remained from the Vi
etnam era.
While it’s too soon to pass judgment, Ben-., I
ford said, today’s protesters seem to be more
tolerant than those of the Vietnam era.
“I think when the troops come home, you
will not see the attitude and behavior that many
Vietnam veterans experienced,” he said.
Instead of focusing attention on the troops, I
Benford said, protesters are addressing their ■
concerns to the American public.
Kimball said the public also has been more I
tolerant of protesters than in the past.
“I haven’t heard that these people are dis
loyal or traitors,” he said.
Kimbail said he didn’t think the demonstra
tors were trying to target any one person with
their protests, but were aiming their rallies at
decision-makers and the “great mass of people”
watching the war on television.
Kimball and Benford agreed that the pro
tests probably will not cause a lack of morale
for the troops.
“Most of the people in the service are aware
that there is going to be some dissent,” Benford
said.
While conflict between protesters and rally
opponents has been minimal so far, Kimball
said, time will tell if that peace continues. f

“It causes me to say I’ll support this thing all
the way to the end,” he
said.
Kerrey had been op
posed to getting involved
in the war, but he said he
now will “support the
honor of the troops.”
Last weekend, Kerrey
voted against a Senate
resolution authorizing the Kerrey
use of force against Iraq. But after the war
began Wednesday, he voted for a Senate reso
lution supporting U.S. troops in the war.
“I want a victory with this effort,” he said,
adding that victory would not come without 1
paying a substantial price.
While “no one predicted this kind of superi
ority,” he said, people should not get too ex
cited that the present edge will carry the allied ;
forces to a quick victory.
There will be “dark days ahead,” he said.
“What we haven’t seen yet is the part that
isn’t so exciting, and what that is is the deliver
ing of people into the soil,” he said.
Kerrey added that he was deeply skeptical
about the need for a draft. Selective Service
officials also have said that a draft is unlikely.

If you thought that find
ing a color Macintosh* sys
tem you could afford was
just a dream, then the new,
affordable Macintosh LC is
a dream come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich
in color. Unlike many
computers that can display
only 16 colors at once, the
Macintosh LC expands
your palette to 256 colors.
It also comes with a micro
phone and new sound
input technology that lets
you personalize your work
by adding voice or other
sounds.
Like every Macintosh
computer, the LC is easy to
set up and easy to master.
And it runs thousands of
available applications that
all work in the same, con
sistent way-so once you've
learned one program,
you're well on your way to
learning them all. The
Macintosh LC even lets you
share information with
someone who uses a differ
ent type of computer
thanks to the versatile
Apple* Superdrive, which
can read from and write to
Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2,
and Apple 11 floppy disks.
'fake a look at the Macin
tosh LC and see what it
gives you. Thenpinch your
self. It's better than a
dream-it's a Macintosh.
