...this happened last January, and because of it, Markey received the Massachusetts Bar Association's Legislator of the Year award and was praised in many editorial columns. Looking for a theme for an advertising campaign, Markey's political strategists pounced on the Judiciary Committee incident...
...harsh, space language. The "Village Market" with its "sun, emaciated donkeys, flies...' is replaced in a "False Step" by the alienation of the city. "Here there is nothing I know/And nothing that knows me," says the recent urban immigrant arriving in weather as bitter as his mood.

There's no predictability about it. There's no broad theme about it; and in many instances we've abandoned the basic character and principles of the American people in the evolution and consummation of foreign policy. I would restore bipartisan support for our foreign policy and let the American people be involved as deeply as possible...
