education rocks white
One modest suggestion for my friends in the academic community: the next time a mob of students, waving their non-negotiable demands, starts pitching bricks and rocks at the student union- just imagine they are wearing brown shirts or white sheets- and act accordingly.
media garbage printing
Some newspapers dispose of their garbage by printing it.

Ultraliberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy.
running butlers mates
McGovern couldn't carry the South if Rhett Butler were his running mate.
news tables controversial
Bad news drives out good news. The irrational is more controversial than the rational. Concurrence can no longer compete with dissent. One minute of Eldridge Cleaver is worth ten minutes of Roy Wilkins. The labor crises settled at the negotiating table is nothing compared to the confrontation that results in a strike ... normality has become the nemesis of network news.

I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.
sleep shoes razors
All the Chicago demonstrators wanted to do was to sleep in the park and kick policemen with razor blades in their shoes.

The President needs me at the White House. It's autumn, you know, and the leaves need raking.
