Hampton based his campaign on the Conservative Party platform, which he helped to draft in 1966. He supported an unconditional victory in Vietnam, drastic cuts in state and federal aid to education, a curtailment of federal spending and "systematic reduction in the size and cost of government...
Arias, not Action. The most radical of all these works is The Red Lantern, which recounts the heroism of a family in the Communist underground during the war against Japan.
