...going as far as the forgotten American wants. Nixon is trying to end the Vietnamese war - an effort welcome to al most all Americans but one that has certain connotations of defeat and betrayal to the white lower middle class. One of the most urgent practical measures for this group is tax re lief. Saul Alinsky is now training organizers to mobilize the middle class. Among other things, Alinsky suggests that the Internal Revenue Service should issue cards to people with family incomes of less than $12,000 a year; holders of such cards would be exempted from paying sales...
...problem is how to convince white workers that social change can benefit them and not just Negroes. Blacks, too, need to recognize that their self-interest lies not in sterile separatism but in new coalitions with working-class whites.

"We had a split in the group," Chase later reported, "the once-a-Communist-always-a-Communist group and the group that thought it was ridiculous to destroy some of those who, say, joined the party in the '30s in Nazi Germany. Duke and I were in the latter group." A risky place to be; when Wayne...
...Nonsense," says Wayne, or words to that effect. "The Green Berets made $7,000,000 in the first three months of its release. This so-called intellectual group aren't in touch with the American people, regardless of Fulbright's blatting, and Eugene McCarthy and Mc-Govern and Kennedy. In spite of them the American people do not feel that way. Instead of taking a census, they ought to count the tickets that were sold to that picture...
