...council's task in organizing itself and gaining a wide base of support has not been made any easier by Dean Ford's gratuitous decision to ban from membership students who are on probation. The unfortunate result was that the Advisory Council's first order of business was a trivial discussion of whether a duly elected student representative should be seated...
...this age almost more important than the constitutional authority. Johnson is essentially a manager and a manipulator. He knows where all the levers are and he knows how to use them. But when he must, by the sheer force of his intellect and his personality, develop that broad base of support essential to moving the country, he often fails dismally...
...television scene flickered into millions of American homes in all its grim and ghastly detail. There, before CBS news cameras set up at a 1st Infantry Division base 50 miles north of Saigon, were three dead Viet Cong whose ears had been cut off by souvenir-hunting G.I.s.

As the nation grows, candidates must spend more and more to reach more and more people; while TV now puts office seekers in every living room, the enormous cost drains party budgets. Given most voters' financial apathy, the net result is a qualification for office unspecified in the Constitution: a candidate must now be rich or have rich friends or run the risk of making himself beholden to big contributors...
