...revolutionary fervor and her associations with the Black Panthers, the Communist Party, and other groups advocating violence to throw off capitalist repression, Angela Davis has managed more than anyone else numbered among these organizations to assuage mainstream America. By the end of her trial, Davis had so moved members of the jury with her political statements that even those who originally appeared prejudiced against both blacks and Communists were thoroughly convinced of her innocence.

...there are jokes about Philosopher Ayn Rand's becoming the Ford Administration's primary behind-the-scenes adviser now that her friend Alan Greenspan heads the President's Council of Economic Advisers.
