...repugnant and cankerous opportunism witnessed in recent times. This particular variety of infectious demi-think is as sinister a threat to America as the nuclear stalemate or environmental pollution, for it moves the electoral decision from reason to the irrational and erodes people's belief in the democratic process. A greater tragedy, though, is the extent to which Yorty's racism has so aptly measured the temperament of the voter. How dare we feign shock at the news of a Watts...

Citizens who dare to voice criticism of any government decree whatsoever are subjected to persecution and are illegally fired from their jobs. For the slightest criticism, Communists are immediately expelled from the party in violation of party regulations. Of late, with ever-increasing frequency, completely healthy people are being...
