...generation is one of concern, hope, courage, strength and vigor; also one of neglect, dejection, fear, weakness and impotence. Shall our enemy thrive by taking advantage of our youthful characteristics? I wonder. I wonder who really put the $10 and $20 bills in the hat at the rally in support of the demonstration. I wonder who printed all the propaganda I received those days. I wonder who paid for the transportation of those I met from New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. I wonder who supported the ex-G.I.s from Viet Nam who infiltrated my mind with...
...trouble is that most of what needs to get done in the U.S. is pretty boring stuff-things like modernizing taxes, zoning, building codes and local governments. Yet neglect of such matters is what promotes the wrong kind of change. Most of the historians' turning-point years involve wars and revolutions, not peaceful change.

Yet America, a nation obsessed with youth, with nearly half its population under 25, does not let a citizen vote until he is 21.* An 18-year-old can be drafted, and he can be held fully responsible before the law, can even be given...
...guilty either of grave oversight or willful neglect in regard to Richard Nixon," read the stern letter to the editor of the New York Times. Its author, David Eisenhower II, 20, Ike's grandson, was in the thick of his new job as chairman of the Youth for Nixon organization. David and Julie Nixon, 19, are so optimistic about her dad's chances that they may move up the date of their marriage, originally planned for after their college graduations in 1970, to "sometime after the election." That could make it a White House wedding...
