Moynihan's association with the Nixon Administration has caused many people to label him-perhaps unfairly- a conservative. He does accept some key conservative doctrines: the need for economic incentives, the reduction of federalism, and the return to local initiative. He scored the old welfare program for breaking up families. He stands opposed with many Republicans to the provision of services through the federal government. The government, he holds, is good at collecting revenues but bad at distributing services. Direct cash payments to the poor are more effective than what he calls "the monopoly strategy of services," because the government...
...Progressive Labor Party, the Worker-Student Alliance insists that students subordinate themselves to workers as the vanguard of the revolution. Though W.S.A. thinks that Negro laborers will ultimately lead the movement, it hedges on the primacy of black workers at the start. As a result, the other factions label W.S.A. racist. In turn, W.S.A. criticizes the rest of S.D.S. for looking down on workers and existing labor organizations...
...trait that a century ago, Anthony Trollope waspishly noted that every New Yorker "worships the dollar and is down before his shrine from morning to night." To preserve the spirit of the place, he suggested, every man walking down Fifth Avenue should have affixed to his forehead a label declaring his net worth.

But a man who lives in Detroit or Cleveland is not necessarily identifiable as a Detroiter or a Clevelander...
WHATEVER his mistakes, Marchi will do well on November 4th-when you consider that he is a conservative Republican running in an overwhelmingly Democratic, and usually liberal, town. He has nearly all Procaccino's positive points except the party label. He has a certain impressive quality all his own. But the polls suggest Marchi cannot avoid the role of spoiler, however much he might like to. Every vote he acquires is a vote acquired from Procaccino, and only brings the necessary Lindsay total down that much further...
...somewhat diminished this season by bright new competitors designed to make the fur-and the fur sales-fly. Right up there with the mink and the sable, the chinchilla, the ermine and the fox, are such low-status pelts as wolf, monkey, weasel, bull and yak. Without examining the label, however, even a zoologist would have trouble identifying the newcomers. For the furs have become checked, striped, flowered and wholly unrecognizable. Mostly they have been dyed. The dusty drabs have all but vanished; mink has gone pink, and puce, and pimento, and so has everything else. There is aquamarine beaver...
