...Jewish psychological type grabbed the reins and evolved into what the authors call the rigid authoritarian rebel": all of the protean's hang-ups, minus his respect for intellectual matters and his adherence to non-violent tactics. Total immersion in anti-war protest became inevitable after the huge U.S. troop deployments of 1965 and intensification of the draft, say Rothman and Lichter, and the New Left became a "carrier movement" for "irrationalism, spontaneous action [and] social disruption."

...noticeably tight-lipped about those touchy topics. Mindful of the President's slim hold on a Senate majority, the national Republican Party has assessed this Senate race as one of its most needed wins. Trible has had a veritable Who's Who of Administration heavies, including Reagan, troop through Virginia on his behalf in recent months. But in one of only three Senate races nationwide that does not feature an incumbent, the No. 1 issue could not be more clear-cut.
