...According to the logic of the grand jury, the party guilty of inciting to riot ends up to be President Nixon. His order of troops to Cambodia caused the peaceful antiwar rally, which caused the order to disperse, which caused the students to ignore the order, which caused the arrival of troops, which caused a confrontation, which caused frightened, ill-trained young men to feel endangered, which caused the killing of four students, which caused the violence and horror of Indochina to be brought home hard to Middle America...

With Frosch's appearance, cool reason and uncommon accuracy became standard. Violence scared Frosch, and he admitted it. But fright was a thing to be lived with...
...newest new Nixon has only been around for about seven months. It is important that we do try to understand him, for he is perhaps the worst Nixon of them all. He is the Nixon that has given us Cambodia, Kent State, and, this fall, the loudest and most terrifying election campaign in memory. He is the Nixon that represents a clear and present danger to our country and our lives...
