Despite Reagan's own polls, which show him with a 15-point lead over Carter, his strategists are urging him to run as if he were an underdog. Reagan, who invented the 11th Commandment, "Thou shall not criticize other Republicans," now speaks of a 12th Commandment, "Thou shalt not be overconfident." One reason for the caution is the fear among Reagan's associates that he will make a critical mistake?in the No. 1 cliché of the Reagan camp, "shoot himself in the foot." In addition, Reagan and his aides fully recognize Carter's power as an incumbent. They expect...
...staunchest opposition comes from those who hold absolutely that conception is life. But belief in the inherent value of life is not a trite axiom: it avows some faith in the quality of existence beyond the moral injunction "Thou shalt not kill."

In the huge crowds, he made only glancing references to many of his most hotly disputed positions and chose instead to concentrate on aspects of the religious message as important as any thou-shalt-not preachments: peace, brotherhood, respect for human rights, the sharing of love. In Harlem he spoke of religious joy, in full knowledge of how seldom that emotion is felt on those mean streets. Said...
...inscription in Hebrew. This inscription awakens the memory of the people whose sons and daughters were intended for total extermination. This people draws its origin from Abraham, our father in faith, as was expressed by Saul of Tarsus. The very people that received from God the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" it self experienced in a special measure what is meant by killing. It is not permissible for anyone to pass by this inscription with indifference...
