...such strong Goldwaterites may have surprised many of the expediential politicians who led them. (An example: last June Republican precinct delegates in Michigan's Oakland County the suburban stronghold and home of George Romney, preferred Goldwater over Scranton by a 2-1 margin). The 1964 convention showed that Republican grass roots workers, subleaders, cadres, party hacks, call them what you like, are far more conservative than the politicians they serve and the voters they try to persuade. They are perhaps, good representatives of those who still call themselves Republicans (80 per cent of whom voted for Goldwater in November...
...with the fate he has created for himself. At such a moment, the question of whether a man be guilty of using obscene language in printed books seems to me inconsequential.

Particularly galling to De Gaulle was the lack of a majority in Paris itself, which the Gaullists had been confident of capturing...
...Decatur St., where the beatings had begun, Lackey's policemen sat down on the grass by the curb and began to eat sandwich lunches. Other officers cleaned up. Picket signs, shoes, a braid torn from a girl's head, and other articles were carried away. Kuromiya's blood was washed into the gutter...
