...system had existed. Hence the movement's energy almost necessarily flows into protest activity--which in a vague way symbolizes the "return" of a voice to the people in foreign affairs--rather than into thinking up persuasive alternative policies. It would seem that if Tocsin "went intellectual," it would lose its appeal to potential members. But if it goes in any other direction, it won't matter...
...landscape like a lone tree on an arid plain. His talent for winning elections has made him the No. 1 Republican of the nation's most populous state. Nine times he has run for public office-assemblyman, state senator, state controller, U.S. Senator-and he has yet to lose a race.

...conquest knows by subliminal heart that he need generally do no more than brush between meals or settle down with a stronger soap. At most, he has only to step up his vocabulary; sometimes it is simply a matter of developing more prominent pectoral muscles. It is how to lose friends that has become the contemporary American dilemma, and a tactical...
