...state's first successive two-term Governor. The feat was particularly remarkable because he favored busing. A native of Oklahoma who neither smokes nor drinks, Askew is a Southern liberal who has raised corporate taxes, repealed var ious consumer levies and pushed hard to help the elderly and protect Florida's endangered environment. Soft-spoken and handsome, he was an effective keynote speaker at the Dem ocrats' 1972 convention.

"I do not think the A.C.L.U. should be involved in movements. It should be there to protect victims of movements." One unresolved current debate illustrates the problem. A women's rights faction recommends making rape prosecutions easier, but that would inevitably collide with the traditional civil libertarian concern for the rights of defendants. Furthermore, the recent activism seems to reflect what even many members agree is an increasingly liberal...
