...into Labor supporters after a generation of Liberal rule. Australia was sentenced to three years of "hard Labor," from which it never fully recovered. Now another superstar appears. I do not doubt Bob Hawke's ability as a star. It is the supporting cast and divided crew who frighten...
...supporters, during which time the message of non-violence was carried to thousands of people. Those who oppose registration for the draft, and especially we who have not complied with this law, were put on trial along with Ed Hasbrouck.

A Democratic landslide would frighten even those Republicans who were spared defeat into taking a more independent line from the White House. Indeed, the symbolic importance attached to the outcome could be self-fulfilling: even though the election is really a collection of 504 unrelated races, if both Democrats and Republicans increasingly view it as a referendum on Reagan's economic policies, the election could...
