While he said he would not take an active part in the New York mayoral campaign, Nixon declared he will vote for Rep. John V. Lindsay (R-N.Y.), rather than Conservative candidate William F. Buckley Jr. He called Lindsay "a fresh new voice in New York...
...Hessler characterizes us as "cold hearted and hard-headed." The distinction between the "warm" "democratic" "people loving" "New" left and the cold calculating "Old" left is a cry that has been heard over and over again--most recently in an article appearing in an August issue of Mr. Buckley's National Review. Again Mr. Hessler adopts this a-priori assertion rather than an argument, that somehow providing an intellectual framework which we think clarifies action makes us "cold hearted...
...Just once or twice in a century," said Clare Boothe Luce, "a man appears on the political scene who is brilliant, witty, courageous, honest-and articulate. What a wonderful thing it is to be on his side of the political barricades." The man she was talking about, William F.

Infant Application. The only easy way to gain entrance to most of these schools is by birth, although even admission by legacy is no longer automatic. Buckley, perhaps the most society-conscious of the city's schools for boys, encourages parents to apply when their children are born, and most of the top schools book their classes far in advance on a first-come, first-considered basis. Even acquiring an application form is competitive; Allen-Stevenson, which graduates only a dozen boys a year, does not send a blank unless it gets satisfactory telephoned answers to nine questions...
