Some political analysts believe that the growth of population and economic power in the South and Southwest portends a dominance of Sunbelt conservatism in the nation. One proponent of the theory is Social Historian Kirkpatrick Sale, author of Power Shift, The Rise of the Southern Rim and Its Challenge to the Eastern Establishment. Sale argues that the Sunbelt is becoming the increasingly influential repository of "the three Rs"-rightism, racism and repression...
...popular culture, he went wild. On a serious level, Cockburn is in the forefront of a group of leftist journalists writing in a wide variety of popular publications (from (MORE) to Parade Magazine) about what might be called "power in America". Along with writers like Andrew Kopkind, Emma Rothschild, Kirkpatrick Sale and James Ridgeway, he seeks to cover politics in the broad sense, evading Washingtonitis and other diseases afflicting mainstream pundits, the Krafts and Restons of the world...
According to Kirkpatrick Sale, Johnson's scatological hijinks can be explained in terms of a structure of economic and political power that has arisen in the United States since World War II.

Its principal targets have been monopoly, unfair influence, industrial or professional conspiracy...
...White House had slipped an advance copy of the transcripts to the Tribune because the paper's publishers intended to run the full text, which they did. Shortly before the Tribune's presses started running with its editorial, Presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler called Tribune Editor Clayton Kirkpatrick, long a supporter of Nixon policies, and urged him to reconsider. The record, Ziegler argued, was incomplete. "You made it so," Kirkpatrick shot back. Ziegler finally said he was very sorry that the Tribune was moved to take such a position. "I'm kind of sorry about it myself," said Kirkpatrick...
