...former student of Herbert Marcuse at the University of California at San Diego, I remember his walking into class one day in 1969, wearing a button given to him by the conservative Young Americans for Freedom. The button read: TO HELL WITH COMMUNISM! Marcuse remarked to the class, "The reason I'm wearing this button is because I agree with it.

...certainly would have been outraged reactions not only from the P.L.O., but from key moderate Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

He regretfully told the President a stunning piece of news: he had just ordered the FBI to undertake a preliminary investigation of Carter's two closest White House aides, Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan and Press Secretary Jody Powell. The reason: an allegation that Jordan had snorted cocaine during a visit to New York City's Studio 54, a celebrated disco club-the first version of the story said in April 1978-and that Powell had been with him at the time...
