...drawbacks: much of it was of the hey-nonny-nonny variety, and too much of it was not funny. This lapse was intentional. Auden saw humor as incidental to light verse; far more important, he claimed, was the quality of common speech that all classes of society could understand. Milton wrote for the educated elite; the light-versifier hummed to a simpler, more general rhythm and turned his hand to things like this...
...Jarvis, whose face looks a bit like a California mudslide, has been demolishing debating opponents with his oddly compelling blend of verbosity, profanity and humbug. He has enlisted U.C.L.A. Economist Neil Jacoby to polish his simplistic arguments about the stultifying impact of the rising property tax.

Never again would the nude be made to carry such a wealth of meaning as it does in Blake...
...matter in the hands of state and local authorities, who are equally reluctant to do anything that would trigger violence. Virginia's Republican Governor John Dalton has been the most militant to date, merely by putting the National Guard on a stand-by basis. Pennsylvania's Milton Shapp refuses to call out the Guard on his own initiative. Illinois' Republican Governor Jim Thompson has ordered state police accompanying federal marshals not to participate in the enforcement of federal labor laws, as in the case of a peaceful picket defying the Taft-Hartley injunction...
