...Mr. Collins accuses us, among other things, of not engaging in meaningful dialogue at this University, of being sexually, repressed, and of not being "involved." He has demonstrated his own masculinity by taking off his pants, his own involvement by bringing a Soc Rel class to a halt, and his own dialogue by shouting down Professor Inkeles...

Both President Nixon and Mr. Wilson have expensively hired press secretaries whose job is to disguise the truth and to avoid straight questions." In sum, Dimbleby felt that Nixon had drawn "not as big a crowd as Kennedy would have and not as hostile a crowd probably as L.B.J." What the British had witnessed...
