...Service" Approach. The chieftains of the old Republican machine regard the Alliance with a mixture of anxiety and contempt. "They've done nothing but make noise." jeers Wilbur Hamilton, the city Republican chairman. Says William Austin ("Aus") Meehan. who last year inherited his father's role as boss of the old organization: "I don't think you can run a political organization with a Mimeograph machine and advertising." As Meehan and Hamilton see it. the art of politics is based on what they call "service"'-doing favors for people so as to build up a fund...
...when restraint and sacrifice are being asked of every citizen, the American people will find it hard, as I do. to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of Steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility can show such utter contempt for the interest of 185 million Americans...

The student paper, The Justice, is perhaps the most caustically anti-administration campus newspaper...

Having spent many years in the more moderate climate of Washington, Nixon may over-estimate the Society's un-attractiveness to his fellow-Californians; but the contempt the young conservatives showed for the wishes of their party's titular leader indicates more than that there are a lot of Birchsymps among them...
