...state of the nation, 1966 model, and concluded that in many ways it's an awful lemon. "I am troubled by the growth of violence," he told the National Association of Purchasing Agents in Detroit, "by the riots, vandalism, irresponsible demonstrations, the tendency toward rebellion for its own sake." The way to overhaul it all, said Ford, is "to join the war on poverty. The free-enterprise system will not gain the acceptance it needs until all men share in the abundance that system provides." One night after Henry spoke, he shared some of his own abundance with...
...chloroformed, kidnaped, nearly impaled on a hatpin, and at one point must be pulled out of the river after a prolonged dunking that would have drowned a plainer girl. Most of her woes are devised by a supple archvillainess (Francine Bergé) who revels in evil for its own sake, keeps slipping out of her period gowns to dart away in tights, only to reappear moments later as an apache dancer or murderous...
These requirements, written and unwritten, are unfortunate because government, perhaps more than any of the other social sciences, gains relevance as an area of study by being put in context with related fields.

There was even pop enthusiasm as girls in thigh-high miniskirts buzzed to and fro on the back seats of motorcycles...
...without mulling over whether or not they had "substantial" reasons. At worst, the present requirements encourage freshmen who have no real reasons to invent them. The system would provide more opportunity for both Master and student choice, in itself a good thing. Choice should be valued for its own sake, whether it is choice of a field concentration or choice of a time to get up in the morning. Simply because the old system encouraged choice but could not guarantee that all requests would be satisfied is no reason for abandoning choice altogether...
