...McGovern with hope. It looked as though this seemingly credible man would finally be able to change priorities in our Government from a kill count in Viet Nam to a job and food count in Harlem. But with McGovern's "handling" of Eagleton, he has developed a true politician's trait-the forked-tongue syndrome...
...nearly three decades Richard Nixon has been running for office, a paradigm of the professional politician. Attaining the White House in 1969 did not slake his ambition, but turned it to ensuring his re-election this year.

They would put away the old artist, the old military warlord and the politician with his raging ideology. Well, when we do put away these people, we can't kid ourselves that we're not also putting away the bourgeois middle-class democratic system...
