...Nader study is most obviously important because it lifts the falsely reputable facade of the Trade Commission. Since the last intensive study of the F.T.C. in 1949, the Federal Trade Commission has dwelt safely behind the public reputation created by its own press releases and has been done little damage by cursory academic studies...
...first time, Nixon was encountering serious heckling last week, and much of it dwelt on his refusal to debate. In Akron, he cut short his speech by ten minutes after well-organized demonstrators in the balcony reduced his rally to a shambles. The hecklers, mainly students, shouted "Debate! Debate!

Nearby dwelt a giant named Ye'iitseh, with a mouth like an inverted bellows, who often inhaled the unwary; not to mention the flesh-rending Rock Swallows and an anthropophagous eagle whose calcified remains the whites named Shiprock. Yet there is no Navajo name for the meteorological monster that in ten days left the tribe -and much of the Southwest-buried beneath a man-and-cattle...
