...overwhelming majority assume the only political stance that needs no defense--that of the "moderate liberal." Haughtily denouncing conservatives as "crackpots" and radicals as "fanatics," these squatters in the "middle-of-the-road" bestow their silent blessing on almost any proposal that carries the "liberal" label. Some of these proposals are wise, but others...
Last week Japanese electronics leaders were sharply divided over how hard to push exports of finished consumer products. Ibuka, whose radio exports rose from 32,000 sets in January to 55,000 in March, intends to keep on exporting under his own label. To avoid arousing a protectionist outcry in the U.S., many Japanese manufacturers think a better way to keep on growing is to sell components to U.S. companies to assemble, thus dividing up the work and the profit...
...Gromyko & Co. labored endlessly, too, to build up the prestige of their East German stooges and to label the West Germans as neo-Nazi warmongers.

If this should happen, we will have a better America and better legislation for the working people of America...
...single-entendre that is crude without being funny. Crudity seems, generally speaking, to be the defect inherent in Brecht's attempt to simplify life to the point where it can be described in his almost-allegorical terms. His characters are often lifeless stick-figures whose only identity is a label, and his political and social pronouncements are over-stated, over-emphasized, over-dramatized past the point of exasperation...
