...potential political effect of the bill may disappoint the Democrats, who clearly believe Nixon fears a bloc of young voters and will suffer at their hands in 1972.

Furthermore, statistics show that the younger the voting group, the lower the percentage actually voting. And the President could also take heart from the news from England, where 18-year-olds voted for the first time last week. They clearly did not hurt Conservative...
...they not only want to recover Palestine but also intend to reform Arab society. The most outspoken of these is George Habash, 44, a physician who heads the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

All of my friends from New York are either sick or weary or impregnable...
...bourgeoisie of any country, the ruling classes of any culture, have a perfect right to leave for posterity examples of their conception of beauty. That may be history's only consolation. But that art, like most of their business, begins to be criminal when millions of people have to suffer because...
