Arkansas has never been consistently Southern in temperament, despite its historic and geographic ties to the Old Confederacy; though it is more Western in the look of the land and its yield, the state has never embraced the West's expansionist, assimilative outlook. Instead, in the eyes of the world it seemed aimlessly insular, obdurately independent-and comically backward. As then-Governor Charles Brough boasted 50 years ago: "You could build a wall around the state of Arkansas and its people would be self-sufficient...
...Prize Worth Winning. Talk of 1968 is, of course, premature. But the very intensity and fervor with which it erupted even before all the ballots were counted was itself a reflection of the G.O.P.'s vastly improved outlook and buoyant spirits. In 1964, the liberal Eastern Establishment's so-called "kingmakers," figuring that the nomination was scarcely worth having against an ebullient, efficient L.B.J., crumbled after putting up a feeble fight against Goldwater.

Actually, the new sponsorship will make no difference in motive's outlook, since it was never very parochial to begin with. In its 25 years of publication, motive has consistently taken the stand that its college readers were adults and has given them adult, avant-garde fare. Never preachy in tone, the magazine has nonetheless assumed that religion is relevant and has tried...
...conclude in their own minds that they have fully discharged their civic duties by immersing themselves in the affairs of those lovely towns in which they live, in complete forgetfulness of their larger responsibilities. We live in an age of relaxation. Something has happened to our morale and our outlook on law and government...
