...part because of this sympathy voters have confidence in Muskie. After Richard Nixon, people want a President they can trust and the long lanks. Lincolnesque Muskie ("Trust Muskie" was his slogan in '72) does his best to remind voters of "Honest Abe." Surely, Democrats predict, if the public has a choice in 1976 between a new Lincoln and a used Ford, voters will select the newer model; clearly. Democrats reason, a car that hugs the middle of the road will be more popular than the used Ford brought to us by the man whom no one would trust to sell...
...later; he proved so able that even after his marriage broke up, his ex-father-in-law made him vice chairman and chief executive officer. Scott wants to improve A. & P.'s "slipping image" among shoppers, partly by building many new stores. He will probably ditch the WEO slogan, which he does not like, but still keep markups low.

Bell's gripe could not be more legitimate--whether the "visible attempt" to recruit minority faculty is a phony PR slogan or an honest effort that has completely failed...
...first thing one noticed upon entering Santiago in March 1972 was the omnipresent political graffiti. It was as if every vertical space had grown its own slogan. The walls sliding by the bus window called out in a din of dripping reds and scrawled yellows "A People United Cannot be Defeated," "Vote for Popular Unity," "Che Lives," "Defeat Yanqui Imperialism." But there was a somber tone to the city that no amount of revolutionary prose could conceal. The Latin American autumn was quietly stealing the bright leaves away, leaving them in gray-brown piles that merged with the concrete sidewalks...
