...Perversion: We've been called "perverts" enough to be suspect of any usage of the word. Still many of us shrink from the idea of certain kinds of sex: with animals, sado/masochism. dirty sex (involving piss or shit). Right off, even before we take the time to learn any more, there are some things to get straight...
...clarifying such situations -proposed by the Nixon Administration-would be to legalize "preventive" pretrial detention, imposing it after the safeguard of a full hearing. Other reformers place greater emphasis on speeding trials to shorten the time in which an arrested suspect's rights might be abused or he might commit additional crimes.

Obvious techniques include ordering...

His pedigree spells authentic black power - but not to the militants...
...progressive sentiments of youth become even more suspect when one examines the non-college young. The Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan recently provided some clues on their political attitudes. The youngest voters made up the bulk of the Wallace support in the 1968 elections. Wallace's hysterical campaign against the New Left had its greatest impact on this segment of the population. To appreciate the size of this electorate, one must consider that only 45 per cent of those Americans at college age attend institutions of higher learning...
