...Fulbright chapters in 22 states, including two in L.B.J.'s home state of Texas (Austin and San Antonio). We boast a membership of nearly 4,000 in 48 states plus the District of Columbia. This "draft movement" has only just begun. We expect to have an even larger impact in the future...
...Tolerable Edge. To Administration officials, 5% settlements are "right at the tolerable edge" as far as their inflationary impact is concerned. Nonetheless, when the Teamsters reportedly won a 5% boost after 1,500 trucking firms halted their three-day lockout, they were not noticeably elated. For three days, Teamsters in Chicago struck for a 90?-an-hour boost instead of an hourly increase in wages and fringes totaling 600 to 700 over a three-year period, as accepted by the national union. In its talks this fall, covering 775,000 workers, the United Auto Workers union is expected...
...everyone else continues to write obsolete eye-oriented books, McLuhan has put out the first electronic book. It does not progress in an orderly, sequential manner, developing from an introduction through the main argument and on to the conclusion.

Understanding Media is still the best available statement on the relationship between man and media McLuhan provides an explanation for everything imaginable.

On television, Kennedy didn't look like a millionaire or a Catholic or a politician. His image seemed blurred...
...Tactics for the short-run. The methods of action are all aimed at quick results or quick impact, such as the sit-in, the picket line, strike, march, vigil, teach-in or other forms of mass demonstration. The preparation of big programs, the conduct of prolonged negotiations, the organization of an extensive educational program, the establishment of an organization to exert constant pressure, are all avoided. The tactics can be described as "instantism." There is a chiliastic aspect--a dramatic action to be followed expectantly by dramatic reulsts. Here again there is a parallel to syndicalism and the I.W.W...
