...work -not by shirking responsibility, but by seeking responsibility." As if yearning for the world of his California boyhood, when self-reliance brought just rewards and fewer people were locked into an interdependence that required the helping hand of government, Nixon turned around John Kennedy's most famous pitch for patriotism: "Let each of us ask, not just what will government do for me, but what I can do for myself...
...want to thank our speakers for their well put words. I think their recollection, for me have been fascinating in a way, and I hope they were for everyone here. I had planned to make a small pitch about the press which we decided to buy this morning at our Graduate Board Meeting (applause), but the hour is a little late for that and I'm sure you'll hear from me soon enough.

But fixation can sometimes change to explosion, and vice versa. Through another of the Halaphone's circuits, for example, tones produced by the clarinet actually trigger electronic changes in the sound of the viola...
...high emotional pitch and sexual violence of Paul and Jeanne's affair are consistent with what has come out over the years about Brando's tempestuous love life, punctuated as it has been by the birth of one child out of wedlock and by such eruptions as the attempted suicide of Actress Rita Moreno at his home in 1961. They are also consistent with his record of two marriages and two divorces followed by court wrangles over the custody of his three legitimate children...
