...intellectuals like William F. Buck ley and Professor Milton Friedman of the University of Chicago. Wallace, while making an essentially emotional appeal, is a functional conservative concerned with such specific issues as segregation and states' rights (but not economy in government; for a Southern Governor, Wallace was a big spender). While the Goldwaters and the Buckleys disdain Wallace and accept the pragmatism of Richard Nixon, there is a large overlap among those who knew in their hearts that Barry was right and those who stand up for America with George. Government has grown so large and social change...
...accepted $15,000 for 18 hours of summer-school teaching at American University's law school. Though some other Justices accept fees, there is an ethical question about whether they should. What aggravates the question of Fortas' particularly generous fee is that it was donated by five big businessmen who some day may well have matters of interest come before the court...

Ware, who made it a practice to be with his troops in combat, rushed to the battle in his helicopter...

Bonanza, Petticoat Junction, The Big Valley, The Andy Griffith Show and My Three Sons encouraged a trend by all featuring at least one character who was a widow or a widower. This year the trend becomes a stampede. In addition, the big, new angle is interracial - there is a vast increase in roles played by Ne groes.
