...guidelines required some Southern school districts that are still segregated to integrate by this fall, the rest by the fall of 1970. The possible punishment for non-compliance is the loss of federal financial assistance. For months, the guidelines had been the subject of an intense debate within the Administration. Conservatives, including Attorney General John Mitchell, favored giving Southern school districts more time to comply. Finch, smarting from his defeat in the Knowles affair, held out for no change...
Viewed solely from Washington, the Administration's tactics appear to many to be thoroughly inept. Factions within the Executive wrangle too long and too publicly before decisions are made. There has been an inability to gauge congressional sentiment. Unless the Nixon voting rights bill, for example, was designed simply as a gesture to the South, with no serious expectation for replacement of the existing legislation, the Administration was misguided to introduce it in the face of predictable bipartisan opposition.

The less defensible the practices of a sect, the more it stands to gain by the "conspiracy of silence." While critics of sectarianism generally remain silent, zealous sectarians urge their points of view with emotional fervor.. Free and frank...
Sectarianism is blindly propagandic. A sect has been defined as a group with closed minds who propagate what it already "knows" is the truth. Sectarians who mistake gullibility for faith are prisoners within the shell of their own sectarian tradition--no matter how fine or how foul the shell...
