...Daily Bruin (circ. 18,000); Weiss has made such an impact as editor of the paper that many call it the Daily Brian. Weiss allows that he has "always been a wise-ass ? only my vocabulary has improved." He has called California Governor Ronald Reagan "a liar" for manipulating university financial figures to justify budget cuts, and tells matrons of Westwood who complain about obscenity in Bruin reviews: "If you don't like it, don't read it, lady."

Catherine reminds one of Julie Christie in Billy Liar--a woman so loving that she will sacrifice her love to her man's happiness...or his whim...
...point, Student James Kellerman leaped up and loudly challenged him: "I am convinced you are either for radical social change or you are a liar. What radical programs are you for? Do you believe Latin American people have the right to rebel against dictatorships?" Nixon replied that he was all for "revolutions" in agriculture and education in Latin America, but added: "I don't want to blow countries up. I am talking not about marching feet but helping hands...
