...Chief Justice-designate is a son of the sturdy, stolid Middle West, the fourth of seven children born to parents of Swiss-German descent, Charles and Katharine Burger. The father was a railway cargo inspector who turned occasionally to traveling as a salesman of coffee or candy or patent medicines; the Burger brood was raised largely by the mother, who died only last year at 94. Mrs. Burger insisted that all the children attend Methodist Sunday school. The family moved in and around St. Paul; for a time they had a 20-acre farm, raising tomatoes to supplement the meager...

...GHETTOES, SCHOOLS, AND HAMLETS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THE ENTIRE WORLD! In addition to perpetrating the same crimes of manipulation and objectification he so self-righteously criticizes, Mr. Collins and his group have engaged in dishonest, deceptive and counter-revolutionary acts as distributing a highly inflammatory critique of the German Ideology--a book they had not even read!
