Are the owners of small businesses to pay the penalty of police restraint or should this somehow be a charge on the whole community? Are the in-urance companies to pay out for these outbreaks of violence or do these spasms of lawlessness amount to insurrection which relieves the companies of responsibility? The lawyers will be arguing about these things for a long time but meanwhile Washington seems to feel that something even deeper than the law is at stake now: that the whole foundation of order reason and confidence which sustains a civilized community has broken down not for the first time and certainly not for the last More Like a Spree It was not that this was a vicious riot In Washington It was more like a spree In which all restraints about stealing and burning were removed The looters seemed to be picking out the places where they felt they were being gouged by greedy merchants and equalizing things in accordance with the socialism of the very poor And there was very little evidence of any centrally organized and directed plan Still there is anxiety and even fear in the capital feeling that if this can happen here even if sparked by a V-- is curious Pnd melancholy that hotes'itfter the death of the Rev Martin Luther King and 100000 words after the doleful announce- inehtl of his mur- der not a single c1" commentator on radio or on televi sion has men- tioned what one would suppose is a I teal datum namely that Mr King was an or dal-pd minister in the Christian faith Mr Buckley and that those who believe that the ministry is other than merely symbolic servitude to God must hope and pray that he is today happier than he was yesterday united with his Maker with the angels and the saints with the prophets whose 'words of inspiration he quoted Hoarseness often is due to laryngitis from a cold or from veiling or talking too much When it lasts longer than three weeks thorough examination is 1 needed to deter- i mine whether 1 s'' tumor exists 1' 4 A Nervous disorders P0001 also cause larynrt- 71111112 tis even to the point of not being i able to speak at For many years Jim had Dr Van Dam been employed by an aggressive boss and domineering man His boss overloaded him with work and never recognized his efforts by word of mouth or through rer uneration equal in horror to those committed by the Nazis in Germany Gasp at Profanation One could only gasp at the profanation Ten days ago in his penultimate speech delivered at the Washington Cathedral he accused the United States of waging a war as indefensible as any war committed during the 20th Century Several years ago on the way back from Stockholm where he received the Nobel Peace Prize he conspicuously de dined to criticize the Gbenye movement in the North Congo which was even then engaged in slaughtering as brutallk as Dr King was slaughtered his brothers in Christ But for such transgressions in logic and in judgment one does not receive the death sentence 3 The sickening observation of the commentators is therefore particularly Inapposite The commentators (most of them) said: How can we now defend nonviolence? Surely the answer is: more perfervidly than ever before It was need we remark violence that killed Dr King Should we therefore abandon days later the mailman delivered his severance pay This episode was the beginning of one consultation after another with throat specialists Careful examination of the vocal cords revealed no abnorreality Jim finally consented to see a psychiatrist who determined that the trouble was psychosomatic Face-Saving Illness The original cold was the catalyst that set off the emotional illness amplifying Jim's intense anxiety about job and employer Losing his voice was an subconscious face-saving device it offered an excellent excise for staying away from the plant The vocal cords and the emotions are closely related The tone and pitch vary depending upon whether the speaker is calm irritated sad excited or bored The voice also betrays the person who is elated fearful hostile or smitten Some of us are more vulnerable than others to these differences in mood In this respect it is not always what is said but how it is said 1 with such telling effect in his hot pursuit of a secular milleniarism Those who take seriously Dr King's calling are obliged above all to comment on this aspect of his martyrdom and to rejoice in the divine warranty that eyes have not seen nor have ears heard of the glories that God has prepared for those who love Him Secular Aspects No it is the secular aspects of his death that obsess us very well then let us in his memory make a few observations: I Whatever his virtues and whatever his faults he did not deserve assassination There are the special few one Thinks of Joan of Arc whose career dictates as a matter of theatrical necessity a violent end early in life Dr King was not of that cast His virtues were considerable most notably his extraordinary capacity to Inspire But although the dream he had seemed to many Americans particularly the black militants but not excluding many orthodox liberals less and less useful (freedom now in the sense he understood it was a dream mischievously deceptive) it simply wasn't ever required that in order to reify that vision he should surrender his own life In that sense his martyrdom was simply not usefuL Because it is plainly impossible that on account of his death things are going to change The martyrdom he seemed sometimes almost to be seeking tray commend him to history and to God but not likely to Scarsdale NY: which has never credited the charge that the white community of America conspires to insure the wretchedness of the brothers of Martin Luther King fr Portraits Worries About Job A severe cold that settled in the larynx left him temporarily hoarse While convalescing worried constantly about losing his job He was almost 50 had a family to support and was slightly in debt Jim's fears mounted that he was going to be fired unless he recovered and soon Two days before he was to return to work tne hoarseness recurred Several writes: What can be done for a mental block?
