...late Hubert Humphrey used to love to tell the story of the men from the Department of Agriculture in Washington who came to rescue his baked, broke and forgotten prairie town of Doland, S. Dak., in the midst of drought and Depression. Those fellows were white knights to Humphrey, they were missionaries, they were the reason Humphrey put so much faith in Big Government.

Nelson Rockefeller and Hubert Humphrey, were they here today, might be nonplused at seeing their old nemesis Reagan carrying this banner, though the chances are they would enlist. It was not really a political affair about which Reagan talked on his Inaugural Day. It was, rather, about the circulatory system of liberty, with Government as the heart that nourishes and protects the body by both its actions and its self-restraints. Regenerating sympathetic and helpful Government and spreading public understanding of the partnership may be the essence of the American renewal that is the task Reagan has set for himself...

Scott Fitzgerald was one of his authors; so were Sinclair Lewis, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, Katherine Anne Porter, Herman Wouk, Agatha Christie, Art Linkletter, Clare Boothe Luce, Ogden Nash, Hubert Humphrey, Jacqueline Kennedy, Lucille Ball and Maurice Chevalier, and most of them are worth a story or two.

Liberals who today are tempted not to vote or to cast a protest vote in hopes of building a challenge to the New Right must remember the lesson of 1968. In that year, many college students disdained to vote for either Hubert H. Humphrey or Richard M. Nixon because they considered both candidates to be neanderthals. Perhaps as a result, Nixon was elected by a margin of 1 per cent of the popular vote. The nation paid a heavy price for the liberals' refusal to vote for whom they considered the lesser of two evils.
