...response to a strident attack on Carter in Manhattan's Village Voice, Georgia Congressman Andrew Young, a black, wrote an angry reply: "Carter is one of the finest products of the most misunderstood region of our nation. You are probably right in questioning Jimmy's doctrinaire liberalism, but progressive politics in 1976 must be based on a tough mind and a tender heart and a loving sensitive spirit...
...himself not to write another word about Richard Nixon. "There is nothing, absolutely nothing, he will not do in order to salvage for himself whatever scrap of significance he can find in the shambles of his life," wrote the normally even-tempered Broder. "Nothing shames him." The harshest attack came from Goldwater, who claimed that Nixon had violated the Logan...
Prosecutor Bancroft, 38, a husky, tenacious man, tried the psychiatrist's temper during cross-examination but failed to shake his testimony or to attack his credentials successfully.

Much of modern Russian weaponry-from missiles to tanks to fighter-bombers-is offensive, aimed at a blitzkrieg attack with quick victory as its goal. In Central Europe, the Soviets have concentrated huge numbers of fast tanks and powerful artillery; at sea, the Red fleet's ship-to-ship missiles could deal fatal, surprise blows to Western warships...
