Describing the Tory selection process as viciously undemocratic, the Laborite Daily Mirror wrote: "Butler has been betrayed, Maudling insulted, Macleod ignored, Heath treated with contempt and Hailsham giggled out of court by the jester in hospital." Deriding the Tories' "aristocratic cabal," Harold Wilson last week took aim and declared scornfully: "In this ruthlessly competitive, scientific, technical, industrial age, a week of intrigues has produced a result based on family and hereditary connections.

They have-modified Descartes' statement to make it "I boo, therefore I exist...
...problems which Weinberg's cabal was called in to solve affect every aspect of New York's present crisis. For a really adequate system of public transportation is the only alternative to increased private traffic on the city's streets. And, as Paul Goodman in a recent book of Utopian Proposals suggested, any final solution of the transportation problem must strictly limit--if not eliminate--the use of private automobiles, at least during certain hours...
