...demonstrations, 7500 arrests, 462 injuries--two-thirds of them to police--and 247 arsons and eight deaths." Numbers do not recall well, for me at least, the spirit of those years. Nor does Nixon's awareness of the tragedy being played out around and through him lessen the suspicion that he was its progenitor...
Success is under suspicion, heroes are under attack. "I claim that Jack Armstrong, the all-American boy, died a long time ago," Wriston continues. "And today, Abe Lincoln could never be nominated. Abe Lincoln, the fellow who did not show up at his own wedding. Abe Lincoln, who, after Ann Rutledge died, was certifiably crazy and was found wandering in the woods, mumbling to himself.

The information they were said to have passed to their jailed clients included treatises on guerrilla warfare, instructions on weapons...
...West Germany's liberal community, the restrictive laws, including a regulation that allows government officials to deny civil service jobs to people on suspicion of radical activities, smack of McCarthyism. "It's simplistic to say there is an underlying trend toward fascism," says Gerald Grünwald, professor of criminal procedure at the Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn, "but there is a tendency toward an authoritarian state and a limitation of freedom." Notes Margret Möller, legal adviser to the Christian Democratic Union, whose conservative members push for even more stringent restrictions: "Nonsense, these people, the terrorists...
