Prolonging Superstitions. Despite this view of the Chicago hippies, he describes himself as a conservative, but he might not be accepted as such by most who wear that label. He does not automatically distrust a strong central government, but sees it as beneficial if it truly reflects the will of the people. More significantly, he thinks free enterprise is no more valid as a foundation for an economy than the notion that, in a free marketplace of ideas, the best ideas will necessarily prevail. No conventional conservative could have written his account of Spiro Agnew, in whom he feels, "America...
...mandate comes largely from what Spiro Agnew calls "middle Americans," who are often out of sympathy with the notion that the country must make a special effort, let alone special sacrifices, for the blacks.

Suddenly, the sun came out in the room and I felt great and I knew he did too. High Priest, by Timothy Leary...
...administration and the faculty. If they wish they can insure that the ultimatums go on. They can insure that the students will lock themselves into angry twisted postures of defiance and hatred. The people of this university will be solidified into pressure groups, into islands of animosity and distrust, and each group will be securely fortified by walls of its own principles. We shall face each other then across unbridgeable barricades of distrust, resentment, and fear. The misplaced analysis of the university as groups of competing power blocs--an analysis that under the best circumstances need be only partially true...
