...believes; for we know that, if we but wait long enough, he will write another book in which he will ardently defend exactly the opposite point of view. It is a measure of the man's incredible philosophical wishy-washiness that one of his novels, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, is one of the guiding tracts of the YAF, while Stranger In A Strange Land (his greatest, I might add) has helped inspire thousands of acid-freaks, beginning with Ken Kesey...
Many of the East European refugees are fleeing harsh repression at home and can find no other way of getting to another country. So far, none has damaged an aircraft or injured any of its passengers. In comparing the successful Hungarian heist with the nightmare hijackings carried out by Palestinian commandos, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeititng editorialized: "The Palestinian extremists want to terrorize by taking hostages, while the young Poles, Czechs, East Germans or Hungarians want to shake from their shoes the dust of hermetically closed territories.

He is remembered for two harsh dicta from his assembly days: "Money is the mother's milk of politics," and, speaking of lobbyists: "If you can't take their money, drink their booze, screw their women and look them in the eye and vote against them, you don't belong here." But he was never entirely the Mr. Hyde that his enemies like to imagine. By his driving force he overhauled the ramshackle, lobbyist-dominated state legislature to make it one of the nation's best...
