Romney was having other problems as well. Embarked on an eight-day tour of ten states starting in the Dakotas, he shotgunned Johnson Administration policies from the battlefields of Viet Nam to the wheat fields of the plains. The Michigander did not endear himself to Midwestern audiences by condemning collective bargaining for farmers and urging that they sell their commodities abroad "by the law of supply and demand"-which would mean at low world prices. Senator Milton Young of North Dakota, who had said earlier he would support Romney if nominated, commented: "He isn't nominated yet and judging...
That sort of talk does not endear Brooke to the militants. Some hotheads in the rights movement virtually accuse him of being an Uncle Tom. To millions of other Negroes, his image is blurred at best. Because of his pale skin, his Episcopalian faith, his reserved New England manner, he is looked upon as what might be described as a "NASP"?the Negro equivalent of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

In the early war years, Baruch occasionally met with Harvard President James Bryant Conant and M.I.T. President Karl Comptonon an oak bench in Lafayette Park, opposite the White House, to discuss an official report on rubber resources. That bench -facing the wrong end of an equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson-became...
...virtues of the man who has drawn this extraordinary praise are not those which endear old Masters to generations of House members. In fact, Dean Berry has been a rather remote figure at the Medical School Quadrangle on Longwood Avenue in Roxbury. His contacts with students are minimal; his associations with Faculty men are often highly formal; and the great amount of time he spends away from the School is something of a standing joke...
