...Politics ethic may be attractive, but it may also be one ill-suited for America at the present time. In the 1968 Presidential elections, Richard M. Nixon won by putting together a coalition of his "forgotten Americans"--Southerners, Mid-Westerners, and middle-class people everywhere concerned about what they felt was a decay of American standards. The kind of policy changes New Politicians want will first require defeating the Nixon coalition. Yet this coalition may be hard to beat, particularly if Nixon is able to extricate the United States from Vietnam with at least a minimum of grace before...

Above all, there are intruding memories: her dead parents, his live ones; the half-forgotten other lovers...
...really. The world has forgotten Palestine. Now it must pay attention to our struggle. No matter what happens to the Arab world or the whole world, we will keep fighting to leave our tents and go home. Whoever opposes our fight will have to fight us. If the world thinks the commando movement is superficial, it is much mistaken. It is the only way open to us to go home...
