Dating back to the Kennedy Administration, during which he toured Southeast Asia and came back with a cautionary tale, Pell was in the forefront of the opposition to the Vietnam War. History, of course, proved him right -- and many of his constituents, and other Americans, backed him during the 1960s and early '70s.
But not everyone, of course.
In this unsigned and undated letter, the first page of which I'm posting here, someone slammed Pell. Don't you love the courage of those who send hate-filled anonymous letters? Real spine and conviction... not to mention getting right. Ah, not.
