...Administration approach derived partly from "the basic Puritan ethic of the American people," Wisconsin's liberal Democratic Senator William Proxmire replied that the President's proposals violated that "good old" ethic "in such a shocking and drastic way that it is very, very hard for us to accept." Said Rhode Island's Senator Claiborne Pell: "Even as a liberal Democrat, I have doubts about the continuation of a deficit. I think we would like to see a balanced budget.

The problem is complicated by a tendency of students, given a limited amount of reading time, to prefer articles by "authorities" to the writings of fellow students...
...professors tried valiantly to discuss some of the Governor's address. They pointed out, for example, that Mississippi's industrialization (so eloquently depicted by Mr. Barnett) would eventually force the state to abandon its segregation views and accept the Constitution. But these lucid arguments did not completely expose the sham in Barnett's speech. That privilege was reserved for a student who quietly asked the Honorable Governor, what were the human rights he wanted the states to protect. Mr. Barnett could not name...
