...bone structure. She may react to this either by trimming down mercilessly and suffering near starvation; or she may surrender to the neurotic pleasures of overeating?all the time rationalizing that the trouble is in her glands (which it almost never is). Another deliberate anxiety builder is the slogan, "Why grow old?" It introduces a prescription containing a teaspoonful of wisdom, such as the values of exercise and a balanced diet, diluted in an ocean of nonsense about wrinkle erasers and pep medicines. Actually, the less anxiety is associated with the inevitable aging process, the better are people's chances...
...deplore rightist dictatorships as leftist ones. Kennedy last week hoped impartially that the victims of Castro and Trujillo, "the people of Cuba and the Dominican Republic, will soon rejoin the society of free men." ¶ Latin Americans have as keen an ear as anyone else for a catchy slogan. Kennedy gave them one: "Progreso, Si! Tirania, No! [Progress, Yes! Tyranny, No!]." Time to Mobilize.

In that case, we could have a campaign with a slogan "throw the rascals out" and set up for a year or two a reform Administration. Nor have I had much patience with those who would like to punish [Judge] Thayer by impeachment or any other process. Unfrock him and his judicial robes would fall upon a pair of shoulders not different by the thickness of a fingernail...
...proven instances of communist activity. Venezuela and Japan, for example, are by no means simply cases of Red agitation. And the San Francisco demonstrations, whatever their real cause, were not explained in the very bad and very distorted film made by the HUAC. Subsuming all such riots under the slogan "communist penetration of youth organizations" does not augur well for "Communist Target Youth" as a reliable documentary...
