Tom O"Connor suggests that Jessie Jackson "give up now"

Hell, no!  He has just performed a beautiful inspiring moral action,
with wonderful political implications.  He proved that good
diplomacy, moral appeal, and direct contacts can be infinitely
more effective than the mightiest weaponry.

He has shown that there is no need for America to be in a de-facto
war in the Middle East.

He has undercut Reagan's big guns approach and cheap appeals to
American national chauvenism.

He has shown that Americans who are fighting for economic and
social justice at home command great respect abroad.

He has created a politcal climate wherein millions of unregistered
citizens will register, seeing for the first time in ages, a
meaninful alternative, a voice that speaks to the soical and economic
needs of the American people, a voice that lashes out against 
blind militarism, that stands up for justice, and a voice that
can perform, where others have failed!

Give up?   Hell no, Jessie, Keep Running!
