...deepest sense, President Carter's campaign workers do not offer a contrast. In similarly hollow offices, only a courageous few continue the struggle, betraying the same self righteous air as their Republican counterparts. In similarly hollow offices, only a courageous few continue the struggle, betraying the same selfrighteous air as their Republican counterparts. In their hearts, they too know they are right. Ronald Reagan seems no fiercer an enemy than Ted Kennedy, whom Carter comfortably defeated here. A little jaded, Carter's workers take comfort in his recent upsurge in the national polls, and go through the motions, driven...
LIBERTARIANS are a self-righteous lot; knowing full well they carry in their hip-pocket more political principle than most people have in their whole beings, they tend to press their advantage. And when they engage you in conversation, it's no well-who-do-you-think-is-more-dangerous-Carter-or-Reagan sort of argument; before you can blink they will be talking natural right theory.

He has a perfect right to take a run at the brass ring...
...waiting and the men who currently run the country. Broder's people, "immunized against the childhood diseases and exposed to endless hours of television," saw America slip from a position of unquestioned world superiority into the Era of Limits, American values crumble from a dependable, if not always righteous, code to a confused new national disorder. This generation watched-and in great measure caused-the demise of the great consensus of the 1950s and 1960s. Having seen the collapse of the old order, they must build anew...
