...have any idea whether that time has come or not. I do know that the Republican Party is not understood by a great many people. There isn't an awareness that the Republican Party, its philosophy, is very much akin to what the polls reveal people are thinking and wanting. The party has got to get out from under the image created of it and stand for something...
...uproar overshadowed the issue of the actual value of the Haldeman interview. The network refuses to reveal anything about its contents. But people who witnessed the filming by Wallace and his 60 Minutes crew at Haldeman's home in Hancock Park, the "old money" section of Los Angeles, claim that Haldeman talked "freely and very candidly" about Watergate.

The nakedness with which people's eyes reveal their often distasteful natures comes as a shock to the viewer. Herein...
...snapshot photographer's greatest fault is that in his obsession with the ordinary and commonplace, he often forgets that he must not only portray, but also reveal. To have impact, the photographer must reveal truths about everyday life that we don't normally recognize. Without such revelation, the images are flat, dull and lifeless. Bill Zulpo-Dane's photo-postcards are faithful portrayals of places he has visited, but as photographs, they are excruciatingly dull...
