...arrival of the New Right as the dominant political force in the nation gives progressives (or liberals or whatever they are called now) not only a challenge but also the opportunity to regroup and assess what has and has not worked in the past. We favored Barry Commoner of the Citizens Party for the presidency in November, not because we thought he would win, but because we thought he was the only candidate who had addressed the issues with a consistent concern for equality and justice, universally distributed.

Before the October War of 1973, I.D.F. commanders had depended on their intelligence network to assess Arab threats, then deployed forces accordingly.

Dispatching intelligence teams to the frontline units also is part of the attempt to move fast if necessary...
