...rhetoric, through Republican as well as Democratic administrations-was that the people had to look to Government to ensure material prosperity and a reasonably fair distribution of wealth for all citizens. Thus the Government had to institute spending programs for the poor, and eventually the middle class, and expand them steadily. It had to devise a tax system aimed in part at shifting income from the affluent to the needy. It involved itself in everything from the maintenance of museums to the nutritional value of school lunches. And it has grown in size, power and influence over citizens' lives...
...Lyndon Baines Johnson School, the 38 per cent of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School, and the 52.3 per cent of the University of Minnesota's Hubert H. Humphrey Institute. WEAL charged that these startling statistics--coupled with its failure to contact minority or women's groups and to expand its employment advertising to minority and women's lackadaisical search for minority women scholars. In short, it was a powerful case...

Among the "targets" who fell were George McGovern of South Dakota, Birch Bayh of Indiana, and Frank Church of Idaho.

...another option for protecting American ICBMS, the U.S. could resurrect and expand an antiballistic missile (ABM) system. The 1972 treaty limiting ABMs-the only strategic arms limitation agreement that is still formally in force-might be renegotiated so as to permit selective ABM protection of U.S. missile silos. Tampering with the present ABM treaty, however, should be considered strictly as a last resort. If such renegotiation of the 1972 treaty failed, the result might be an ABM race. That would surely accelerate the ICBM competition. It is only logical that more and better offensive weapons would be necessary to penetrate...
