After two hours of furious debate in a Kaiser-Knickerbocker Hotel suite, the committee's 26 members voted 14-12 to change the rules. Under the new system, each of Wisconsin's ten congressional districts will receive 2½ votes at the national convention, with five delegate-at-large votes going to the statewide winner. Under...

...rescue education from the influence of the ruling class," but any bright boy of the commissar caste should have a good laugh over this. If he fails to make a grade, he disappears without appeal into the grey unprivileged proletarian mass below. Inch by inch, his nose ever clean, he works through the Comsomols (Communist youth groups) and elementary science instruction, through the barracks and blackboards of his Marxist monastery to emerge at last a card-carrying member of the managerial class...
