...When he came to himself again, he said, if he had done or said anything amiss, he desired their worships to think it was his infirmity. Three or four wenches, where I stood, cried 'Alas, good soul!' and forgave him with all their hearts; but there's no heed to be taken of them; if Caesar had stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less." Casca in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar...
...Administration itself. Sharing federal revenues with the states and cities is a Republican idea of long standing. But guaranteeing a minimum annual income for welfare recipients decidedly is not ? even with the provision that they must accept any available work or vocational-training opportunity. There was a good deal of tugging and hauling over the welfare proposals, mainly pitting two relatively liberal Nixon men, HEW Secretary Robert Finch and Urbanologist Daniel Patrick Moynihan, against budget-conscious Economist Arthur Burns and other Cabinet-level conservatives...

"Men of good will may disagree about the means to solve the urban and black crises," said the Society. "They do not ignore them. The party that does not deal with these problems has no future, whatever the ethnic background of its constituents, and it will go the way of the Whigs, who floundered on the great issue of their...
