...Eight years of Eisenhower non-government have left an imposing backlog of business unfinished or never begun, and Mr. Nixon seeks to forestall any real action now with the shibboleth of "state and local initiative" and the bogeymen of "socialized medicine" and "Federal control of education." He points with pride to statistics showing Republican accomplishments in, for instance, school and hospital construction...
...they are indeed to be with it. Mr. North feels that he works just as hard as the water carrier does, and the water carrier feels that he works just as hard as The Old Man (voice not hushed); both and all to the same end: to keep their pride and joy worthy of being called The Greatest Show on Earth.

And this lack...
...wings of a snail, we can ask ourselves how we can stop being Germans and become Americans again. It won't be easy. This year's election campaign in the German Federal Republic is the first since World War Two in which a candidate for Chancellor appealed to national pride and honor. The candidate--Willy Brandt--felt he could make such an appeal only because he had fled the Nazi regime and worked on behalf of the anti-Nazi regime and worked on behalf of the anti-Nazi resistance. Only a handful of Americans have made a commitment against their...
