Mr. Burnham writes a regular John Durham, Associate Editor column in the magazine titled "The Third World War."—E«L One of the frequent charges brought against Barry Goldwater is of over-simplification. We live, according to Jim Zumwalt, News Editor the indictment, in a complicated world. The issues that con- front us are not black or white but various shades of gray. We must make subtle distinctions and graduated responses. Richard Foster, Copy Editor It is not only ignorant but dangerous to present matters as if it were just a simple question of one thing or the other, Yes or No. This criticism is effective in reinforcing anti-Goldwater attitudes and is often troubling to pro-Goldwater inclinations.
