...concerned, however, over what appears to me to be an effort to placate the Southern elements in our party. I personally feel that the desegregation guidelines should not have been relaxed. It was unwise both in the country's interest and the party's interest. I think we've waited long enough for the Brown decision [the Supreme Court's 1954 edict outlawing school segregation] to be implemented. I was just coming out of the Air Force when that decision was handed down. Since then, my daughter, who was less than a year and a half...
...Deprived of dynamic, sexual relationship is first reduced to objective equivalents, then consumed: while a lover knocks unanswered at the door, they slice up first a sausage, then a banana, then an egg, and eat them. Hence when the two Marys arrange broken pieces of a plate in an effort to restore the banquet, they do not recognize their failure to return the system to its continuous state; that's the why they see the world itself--in pieces.

In the past, the U.S. would have rushed American infantrymen to the aid of the South Vietnamese. This time they did not. In an effort to head off an attack, Lien sent South Vietnamese battalions into craggy mountains around the two bases. At first the South Vietnamese fought well and aggressively. But after a month in the field, they wearied. Unfortunately, the South Vietnamese still seemed incapable of fighting a prolonged and bloody engagement with...
...seedy band, wearily remarks of herself at the outset: "Sister Lyda's ass is draggin." Indeed, she bestirs herself only for the strategic seduction of Clint Walker, who has no trouble at all playing an oafish, one-dimensional Ranger. Despite The Great Bank Robbery's pretentious effort, the genuinely amusing western remains an elusive specimen...
