Lindsay's counterattack was protean. Forced to run independently of both major parties and thus lacking the usual precinct apparatus, he attracted thousands of volunteers who canvassed the neighborhoods. Accused of arrogance, he went on television to admit mistakes. Charged with being soft on crime, he boasted of his efforts to beef up the police department. To overcome the argument that his policies had encouraged anti-Semitism among black radicals, he went, yarmulke on head, to synagogues to plead his case...

He could take comfort in the fact that men would continue to stumble through with a combination of stupidity and evil intentions, and as a journalist he would always be able to write about the resulting villains and heroes.

...deja vu parody of Richard as V.P.: Tricia. dressed as a gypsy princess at a White House Halloween party, is out to parody her sister Julie's marriage to a grinning David: and airline hijacker Rafael Minichiello is certainly a master parodist even if TWA is hesitant to admit it.

All in all, a line worthy of Strom Thurmond...
Peter Aldrich and the many M. B. A.'s who pulled together the anti-Vietnam petition deserve the praise and support of all students who are disgusted with the status-quo orientation of many members of the SA. In my opinion, which I admit is probably a minority opinion, those students who circulated and signed the anti-Vietnam petition represent the only real hope for the entire American capitalist system. For if they can take a stand on Vietnam, perhaps one day when they are in positions of corporate power and influence they will also speak up unequivocally...
