...suspicion and distrust remain, but the dignity is fast fading-on both sides. The seizure of Alcatraz three years ago by a number of young militants was an early sign that the more restless, more urban Indians of the 1970s would not share the reticence of their reservation-bred elders. The ransacking of the Bureau of Indian Affairs by 600-odd Indian militants who gathered in Washington to demonstrate for needed changes in federal policy is another indication that the old era of pride has given way to a new-and surprisingly delayed-period of violent protest. Offices were torn...
Marcos has frequently expressed his dedication to the Philippines' libertarian tradition. By downplaying the repressive side of martial law and emphasizing positive reforms, he has tried to overcome the cynicism and distrust evoked when he first moved. He rolled back a recent increase in electrical rates, imposed price and rent controls, brought sugar back to grocery shelves by putting pressure on local speculators, and announced that he would seek to increase exports by increased trade with China. He also introduced a sweeping land-reform decree under which 715,000 tenant farmers occupying 3,700,000 acres of rice and corn...
...problem is that Russell's idea of a psychological study probes no deeper than surface sensuality. He is indifferent to the artist beneath.

By the late sixties, the public saw Transcendental Meditation as another shining cult which had faded as soon as the gloss wore off Practical problems and distrust discouraged many potential meditators--they objected to the initiation fee or mistrusted the claims that anyone could practice and benefit from TM. But gradually it has become clear that although Maharishi disappeared from weekly magazine covers. Transcendental Meditation itself did not disappear. The organization has quietly grown into a thriving, world-wide movement. Calculated from participation in meditation centers, the Student International Meditation Society...
...would venture to guess that there are many liberal intellectuals who, like myself, will support Nixon on principle rather than from resignation. For through his actions of the past year he has managed to dispel much of our previous distrust and bring flickering visions of the New Frontier and Great Society back to life. It was Nixon who surprisingly became the champion of the old liberal values: social harmony, optimism, internationalism, and-above all-fairness. His moves on the diplomatic and economic fronts have destroyed what we feared in him: the image of an intransigent dogmatist...
