...should see that it can come only through long-term organizing. Political action exclusively forcused on shortterm goals will prevent its success. Though street demonstrations could conceivably frighten a jury into releasing Bobby, they will also alienate potential support in Americans at large. This support is the only real safeguard against wholesale political repression. If the New Left should have learned anything in its short history. it is not to rely on liberal politicians to accomplish its ends. Without a general improvement of Americans political consciousness, politicians will continue to use unrest to their own ends. Small groups using pressure...

Liberal Republicans who bucked Nixon on the Safeguard anti-ballistic missile system and the nomination of Clement Haynsworth are loath to buck him again and must be shown something of a grave nature to deny him Carswell.

...long as there remains a possibility of some agreement with the Soviet Union on strategic-arms limitation, there remains some doubt that Congress will vote money to build the B-lA. Among other contracts in the offing are: a new "freedom fighter" for export to allied nations, the Safeguard anti-missile program, a new submarine-launched missile, a land-based missile to replace the Minuteman, and the space shuttle...
