Those who wanted to could find less obvious signals bearing a slightly different message. Only one sentence in the platform's domestic-policy section appeared in boldface type: "We will not tolerate violence!" Somehow Nixon manages to sound more forceful and specific in emphasizing the need for law and order than in pleading for social justice. The targets of his acceptance speech are the "forgotten Americans, the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators." They are "good people. They're decent people.

...prototype can seat 64, a tremendous advantage over its STOL and V/STOL rivals for interurban hops. The closest runner-up, Germany's Dornier Skyservant, seats only twelve; other STOL-type planes that have begun to enter the U.S. air-taxi/commuter business, like Canada's De Havilland Otter and the Helio Courier, have only a fraction of McDonnell Douglas' payload.

He left Biafra at the end of July, after his mother died in the United States and his close call made him suspicious...
...companionship by saying, "My life's a silver screen: lots of hand-held stuff, but no adventure flicks." When Everyman misses, it does so by picking overeasy targets to snipe at: American dream complacency, religious hypocrisy, etc. But as in Mayer's Midsummer Night's Dream the reinterpretation of type is often shocking, always cunning. The archetypal morality play proves a perfect vehicle for calculated improvisation...
