...life might actually believe that we intend to welcome them as we once did. Letting it decay will drive home the truth-that their immigration to this country is no longer regarded as their human right. Now it depends on obtaining the approval of a giant bureaucracy that will hunt them down like dogs if they dare to enter without its approval...
...Ferraro was appointed to the Hunt commission, created to overhaul the party's presidential nominating procedures. It was Ferraro who drafted the compromise that set aside 14% of the seats at the convention for party and elected officials. Shrewdly refraining from endorsing any of the Democratic presidential candidates, Ferraro asked for and got an election-year plum: chairmanship of the highly visible Democratic platform committee...
Making that kind of connection is more difficult for most veterans.

It can be quite a tiring business "reading" a full-scale Pre-Raphaelite allegory, like Hunt's The Hireling Shepherd, 1851-52. This sunny, pastoral scene of two rustics flirting was actually a warning against the re-establishment of the Roman Catholic Church in England. The girl in the red skirt refers to the scarlet woman of Rome; the lamb in her lap is about to sicken...
