...think that there is tension between me and the Congress on a personal basis. I have, I think, extremely good personal relationships with most members of the Congress. But personal relations are not the issue. We are going through a period right now where, in the aftermath of Viet Nam and Watergate, the Congress is attempting to shift the balance between Executive and congressional power. There is [also] a profound feeling of distrust in the Congress of Executive discretion, which causes them to insist on a kind of documentary evidence which no congressional committee ever asked for before...
...power: rape poses a constant threat in the United States of 1975, food is becoming scarce in many areas of the world, the desire for a return to a Golden Age of order surfaces in the editorials of small town newspapers, and the possibility of nuclear war and its aftermath has been a reality since Hiroshima.

Even if Congress approves this year's aid package to Israel, will it go along with requests for an estimated $10 billion in new equipment...
Some periods are easily rejected. The Civil War, with the best of American youth dying fratricidally in the valleys of Virginia, goes out immediately; so does that war's ugly aftermath, the Reconstruction. But out, too, go the romantic Gay Nineties, when in reality Europe's "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" were pouring through Ellis Island's gates to clot the cities and the mill towns or to be herded into overcrowded tenements, where the only toilets were fetid sheds out in the dark alleys...
