...solid, soul-satisfying, black-on-white print and go to it. To our dismay, we find that our initial endeavors are not what we hoped them to be. Our bricks are laid slightly askew, or our words do not seem to express just what we had intended them to portray. So-o-o, we call in an experienced mason, who, by applying a T-square, straightens up our building, or on the other hand we refer to our night editor, who, by using know-how, shifts our words around until our original ideas suddenly blaze forth clearly and distinctly...
...anti-war movement is over to broaden its perspective so as to be able to attack the entire structure of American policy in the Third World--the structure that may well lead us into new Vietnams before long--then the movement must at some time have the courage to portray the situation in the world as it is, and to argue that October 15, 1969 Third World peoples who are fighting for the control of their own destinies are right and should be supported.

It is easy to like a legislator for his personal style and policy views, Fenno notes, but difficult to admire a Congress because it is expected to solve national problems-and it rarely can.

We also believe that Ebert ought to be less modest and disclose the amount of the retainer he has been receiving from Squibb...
...idea was to portray the Second Continental Congress and the beginnings of the American war of independence as occasions for song and dance. Joan Littlewood could have managed it, making a brazenly satiric three-ring vaudeville out of the babble of idealism, pomposity and compromise from which America rather tentatively emerged. Sermons are much closer to the heart of 1776 than satire, however, and the business of turning the founding fathers into a crew of periwigged chorus boys has been accomplished with all due seriousness. Like the hit Broadway show on which it is faithfully based, the movie...
