...terrible/funny or just terrible/terrible. A lot of the material would have seemed dated in New Jersey burlesque during Prohibition. Can they really mean it-using this sort of stuff on TV in 1968? Laugh-In's producers know bad jokes when they use them. There is an element of camp and reverse sophistication in this, reminiscent of making a cult of Charlie Chan movies and Captain Marvel comic books. Besides, the outrageous jokes are thrown into the machinery of the show to create contrast and surprise, and to give viewers a chance to catch up with some fast, good...
...desire for student power, while scarcely articulated as a cause for seizing the campus buildings, was a powerful element of the explosion. Discussion since the uprising has focused upon the methods by which students may exert more influence upon the government of an institution of which they are vital and integral parts. Participation in self-government is a natural human desire that today's students feel with greater urgency, particularly at institutions with highly selective admissions policies because they are much better educated than their predecessors, more sophisticated, in many respects more mature, and more interested in social problems than...
...this, they face the united opposition of the great mass between the extremes. Every citizen has a valid right to demand that his government provide security for his person and his property.

Eschewing concrete proposals, Wallace aims at his listeners' gut feeling that crime must be quashed by any means available. Nixon attempts to sound both alarmed and controlled at the same time, but the element of alarm seems to be winning out. He cites the FBI figures without qualification: "If the present rate of new crime continues, the number of rapes and robberies and assaults and thefts in the U.S. today will double by the end of 1972." He talks...
...much to the dismay of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which tried to get the statement toughened. The 20 cardinals and bishops who approved it expressed "profound gratitude" to the Pope for Humanae Vitae. However, they described the encyclical as but one "essential element in the formation of conscience so that responsible judgment can result in conformity with God's will." They recommended that priests exercise lenience with couples who, for reasons other than "egoism or hedonism," are unable to observe the teaching. "Evangelical tolerance," the bishops suggested, should take into account...
