Muskie's dilemma is painfully difficult. He has come across as a fuzzy Establishment kind of politician in a year when voters seem in revolt, and has been unable to put his brand on any issue that can attract that fed-up, turned-off voter. If he cannot beat such lesser-known Democrats, how can he be seen as the man to beat Nixon? "He's got to find the ways to tap the anger and frustration that people have about big government and big business," says Senator Tunney, one of his now-disillusioned supporters. "I know Muskie...
...hardly ignore the protests of consumers. On the other hand, Nixon has pledged to give the nation's largely Republican farmers a break that they felt he denied them early in his Administration. Indeed, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. who was hired last fall to quiet a near-revolt by farmers over low prices, has gloated over their recent levels.

When the Warsaw underground rose in revolt in 1944, Bach-Zelewsky's forces slaughtered over 100,000 Poles and leveled 90% of the city. He escaped punishment by becoming a prosecution witness at the Nuremberg trials and testifying against his former SS comrades. In 1962, however, he was convicted of the prewar political murder of three...
...think that's right--the novelist is of interest only for what he does through empathy and image-producing, image-arranging: the more consciously a theorist he is the more apt he is to become impotent or cranky or both. Like Harry, I try to remain kind of open. Revolt, rebellion, violence, disgust are themselves there for a reason, they too are organically evolved out of a distinct reality, and must be considered respectfully...I try to love both the redneck and the anarchist bomb-thrower. I think they're both anarchists...
