Simplistic to the point of demagoguery, his rhetoric is not so much overtly racist as atavistic. His speeches are a scattershot us-folks compendium of conservative complaints against the Federal Government, both major parties, bums, beatniks and Vietniks, rioters (meaning Negroes), intellectuals and Communists. With bantam-cock posture and frequent billingsgate phrases, he portentously appeals to patriotism, law and order, individual liberty, states' rights and the safety of the past. He is a pugnacious orator-a kind of ham-hock Goldwater-and one of the most effective stump speakers of the 1968 campaign...
High-blown Jumble. Nor does Humphrey appear likely to change his campaign style. "It is a proud thing to be an American," Humphrey said in Philadelphia, but the pride was somehow lost in a jumble of high-blown rhetoric. With frequent references to the Depression, the Vice President, who styles himself a "man of tomorrow," comes out in favor of liberty, peace, justice, free expression, knowledge, public accountability, meaningful work, open opportunity, public compassion, movement and free association, privacy, rest and recreation and patriotism-everything but the "politics of joy," a theme now absent from Humphrey's oratory...

Last week, weary and dismayed, he packed his bags and headed for clean suburban retirement...

Lucid position papers, frequent compromise, and judiciousness are all highly valued in the Faculty, and the HPC has been able to push cautiously and successfully for the none-too-radical reforms it has advocated...
...improved." He has called California Governor Ronald Reagan "a liar" for manipulating university financial figures to justify budget cuts, and tells matrons of Westwood who complain about obscenity in Bruin reviews: "If you don't like it, don't read it, lady." Despite such brashness, one of his frequent targets, U.C.L.A. Chancellor Franklin Murphy, praises Weiss as a conscientious editor who has made the paper "a provocative and enzymatic force on the campus." A tightly packed bundle (he is only 5 ft. 7 in., 128 Ibs.) of confidence, he is full of irrepressible assertions as to what is good...
