...group dominated by young liberals, issued an 84-page examination of the relationship between the G.O.P. and the South. It charged that the Nixon Administration was "embarked upon a cynical and racially divisive path that can only end in tragedy." Moreover, the report said, any policy that tries to adjust "to the fears and prejudices of a narrow class of voters in the end is bound to fail." Based on a detailed state-by-state analysis, the Ripon report argues that there is "no room to the right" of rural Southern Democratic politicians for the Republican Party to move...
...employment in the industry will drop to 1,177,000. Many of the toolmakers, designers and other workers have been out of jobs for months. Employers in other fields are often afraid that aerospace workers, who are conditioned to working under cost-plus contracts with guaranteed profits, could not adjust to tightly budgeted production schedules.

...have had to adjust rather fast, for it is not games you have been playing here during these years but rather the real thing. Yet amidst the upsetting alarums and excursions occasioned during your years in college by a determined few who have worked consistently to attract attention to themselves by misrepresenting what we are about, as you have gone ahead with your work, you have made clear one hopeful sign. That is, your generation's vigorous assertion that you will not be satisfied with a learning or a way of life whose most convincing credentials are only that they...
