...therein lies as classic a catch-22 as ever appeared upon the political spectrum without Congressional representation the District is powerless to win an amendment guaranteeing its citizens a voice in that body. Instead, Washingtonians must rely on the benevolence of the 50 states in an arena not noted for displays of political charity. Some Republicans shy from the prospect of two new Democratic voices in the Senate; rural constituencies may wince when considering a stronger urban voice in Congress; and even legislators kindly disposed to the amendment simply see no compelling reason to put their neck on the line...
...world energy market is "likely to remain deceptively stable through the mid-1980s." the IEA report says. And therein lies the danger, for people and governments will begin once more to neglect the energy issue and ignore pleas for continued conservation. True, gains have been made that will not easily be reversed. No one, for example, is about to rip insulation from walls or trade-in a fuel efficient compact for an oversized gas guzzler.

Shawn, however, has continued to support...
...justice, it can become an abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless. To build peace on reciprocal restraint; to suffuse our concept of order with our country's commitment to freedom; to strive for peace without abdication and for order without unnecessary confrontation-therein resides the ultimate test of American statesmanship...
