...identity requirements for illegals applying for work permits, and agreed that Social Security cards could suffice to establish an applicant's eligibility. As both farmers and aliens are well aware, Carter's soft stand on documentation would make the new rules tough to enforce. A busy black-market trade in old rent receipts and utility bills has already sprung up in California as illegals seek means to prove they were in the U.S. before 1970-and thus qualify for full citizenship under the Carter plan...

Bruce's act could never sell records, and most of his material would be censored from television. The market for hard-core moralizing and satirizing is limited. Contemporary comedians toy with the freedom of expression they now enjoy without appreciating the power of their words to reveal, and so to help people explore and understand the unmentionable corners of their lives. The freedom to swear is a superficial freedom...
