...introducing his young Oregon-born wife to Washington's intimidating society. On the other hand, a young wife should not be unduly nervous about reminding her husband of their age difference-elaborately avoiding another set of tennis or politely yawning at 11 p.m. Most older men will only react by trying doubly hard to prove how young they are, sweating it out on the tennis court or discothequing it way past their bedtime...
...relations show that left him virtually untouched by anyone. This was one of the few campaigns in history where the candidates were not faced with crises created by the campaign itself. Americans elected a president whom they were unable to judge under fire, to find out how he would react under pressure. Here, again, the press will find that the country may be paying dearly for guilt and a responsibility to stability.

Their attitudes and actions are political in the way that the white middle class is political every time it turns on a TV set to watch a Chicago or a Detroit, and says to itself, "I wouldn't react so harshly myself, but, after all, they were provoked." It is precisely the secret delight in the violence of others, combined with the moral vision of a sophisticated lynch mob, which makes a sham of liberal tolerance in America. The fact that by the day of the Faculty meeting, SDS had gathered something like 1400 signatures on its petition, suggests that...
