...Nevertheless, radicals have had, and are likely to have, very little success in this attempt to convert the Workers into agents of the revolution. This is because the Workers believe deeply in the existing value-structure which necessarily is one that is designed to perpetuate the present relationship of power. Specifically, this is the ethic of individualism which says that each man must try to acquire as much wealth for himself as he possibly can. The index of a man's standing is measured exclusively in terms of the goods he possesses which ensures the smooth functioning of the growth...
...Beatles does not contain the seeds of such a revolution. It is a traditional Beatle album and as such it consists of a collection of measured and highly crafted songs; therefore it is mandatory to have it around. Nevertheless, even within this limited perspective the record leaves one with a nagging sense of non-fulfillment...
Using the term "bad" for the Beatles always means using it in a relative sense. Nevertheless, the entire slew of slow love songs on the two records, presumably McCartney's work, are surprisingly undistinguished. The '30's type ballads ("Sexy Sadie," "Honey Pie") have lost their novelty and much of their charm, remaining now as just so much old-fashioned schmaltz, "I Will" and "Julia," the love songs, are not inventive or gripping enough.

You have to realize that the future is here among us, not among you whites. America should not be called 'the New World' any more; it should be called 'the Old World...
...Novak were not alone in discovering election irregularities in Chicago. The Chicago Daily News reported that Democratic precinct workers were rounding up derelicts from the streets and paying them 500 each to register, even though they had not been in Chicago long enough to satisfy the residence requirement. Nevertheless, the 1968 elections apparently fell short of previous years when it came to dilly-Daleying. "This was the cleanest election we've had in Chicago in at least 20 years," said Charles Barr, head of a group of 5,000 Republicans who policed the polls. In response, Mayor Daley suggested...
