L.C.N. is a foreign pirate government at war with our nation. Americans who become citizens of the underground state of L.C.N. renounce their U.S. citizenship and the civil rights that go with it. Their renunciation, de facto though it may be, could open the legal door for the Government to plan a coordinated military attack on L.C.N. The Marines should deal with these latter-day Barbary pirates, not an understaffed FBI or 50 uncoordinated, oft-corrupt police forces...
...this fall, the percentage will nearly double. Moreover, the Government also inherited from the Johnson Administration plans to press -and press hard-upon those Southern education districts that had not yet begun realistic desegregation. School separatism seemed finally doomed, to the despair of diehard segregationists and the joy of civil rights advocates...

You can say that some of my best friends are Nigras...
...pragmatism, Lowi prescribes a return to idealism. That idealism is at times Procrustean and not easy to put into practice, but all of it is refreshing to hear. His program calls not for less central government but for more -and this time with teeth. He would establish a senior civil service group, for example, composed of generalists with ties to no single agency, who would be responsible for providing a "proper centralization of a democratic administrative process." Sloppily written laws, he feels, have been much to blame for the failure of government. Accordingly, he would strengthen congressional control over federal...
