...death wish" of the Republican Party is best exemplified by the nomination of Candidate Goldwater in 1964 and probable nomination of Nixon in 1968. Why not nominate the man who has the best chance to win: Rockefeller? Isn't the real function of a political party to put its man into office...
...that isn't the point. Whether or not Avatar is written well or not is not grounds for its being suppressed. Important issues never come conveniently packaged. Let's suppose that Avatar is the worst written of the underground newspapers (which it is not). Who is to say that tomorrow some Cambridge magnate might not decide that the CRIMSON is offensive and badly written.

Ramparts magazine has produced a slender daily with the motto: "What good is freedom of the press if there isn't one?" A free press apparently means little nuggets of New Leftism; last week the paper expanded somewhat, adding some Chronicle columnists. Meanwhile, out-of-town papers are enjoying brisk sales. The best local rundown of the day's news is provided by educational TV station KQED, which...
