...When dissent becomes barbaric it is the duty of all men, whether they be rich and powerful or poor, hungry and oppressed, to preserve civilized life and insist upon justice. The people should demonstrate their true fortitude and humanity by refusing to accept any food or money from the People in Need program or any other criminally sponsored operation. Mr. Hearst and the authorities are powerless to stop this crime, but the people...
...White House through Chief of Staff Alexander Haig-with increasing impatience, though he recognizes that Haig is simply a "good soldier" obeying his commander in chiefs orders. The prosecutor was kind and courtly on the surface, as he is most of the time to everybody, but he continued to insist on getting documents that the White House was reluctant to hand over.

The important thing is that the chief villain is named Hedley Lamarr, and the actors insist on mispronouncing his name; that at a town meeting an anguished citizen complains that "people are being stampeded and the cattle raped"; that a black labor gang, ordered to sing a Negro spiritual by their straw boss, respond with a nice arrangement of Cole Porter...
