...getting poor press coverage, and in the certitude of his position he becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. CBS News certainly did cover the affair on the night of May 1, and their extended newsreel showed just how sorry a situation there be: arguments obviously intended to go nowhere between righteous long-haired demonstrators and somewhat more self-consciously righteous short-haired jocks, with one beleaguered cop for good measure, pointing out in his New York accent that "when you tell someone ta move, he's sposta move." Perhaps Mr. Glassman missed this CBS coverage while he was watching NBC; perhaps...
...promises to "fight hard" for the nomination. Until recently, it seemed that no Humphrey fight would be hard enough. His early reputation as a sectional, dogmatic, abrasively self-righteous radical evaporated some time ago, to be replaced by an equally detrimental image as the uncritical apologist for an unpopular Administration.

Henry Fonda is at his uptight best as the up-from-the-ranks commissioner, so righteous that as a cop on the beat he sent back the butcher's Christmas turkey. Richard Widmark is engaging as the detective who lives "on the arm"-accepting all "police discounts." The skillful, dramatic use of Manhattan-indoors and out-should gladden the heart of Mayor John Lindsay...
...point in your editorial on the ROTC program that no granting of academic credit is necessary to permit ROTC to carry out its recruiting function is well taken, this admission also states that your proposal for discrediting the program would serve little purpose other than soothing your sense of righteous indignation. As I will show, given this admission, your other arguments are trivial...
