Sociologist Nathan Glazer says that the progression of judicially enforced rights has given the country "indigestion," like a boa constrictor that has swallowed a goat.

Leaning back in the two pieces of his three-piece corduroy suit that remain, Leight says the "Sheraton is the only facility in New England that can hold us. The closest feasible point after here is New York." No kidding...
