Each team has an experienced line and several fast backs; each is going with a relatively green man at quarterback. The Crimson's Terry Bartolet is a sophomore who made his first extensive varsity appearance a week ago after Ravenel was hurt. The Big Red's Bob Rits is a junior who saw virtually no action behind Tino and McKelvey last year...
Bartolet did not complete a pass in almost three quarters against UMass and could not mount a sustained offensive drive (both Crimson touchdowns came on single long plays), but it is hard to say how much of this was his fault. The Crimson line, so outstanding in the Holy Cross game a week before, gave a credible imitation of a sieve...
...wisdom of 1789 in fact often seems irrelevant wisdom now: Goldwater follows the old line in saying, "Throughout history, government has proved to be the chief instrument for thwarting man's liberty. Government represents power in the hands of some men to control and regulate the lives of other men." This is true, but the past century and a half have brought home another, equally important truth, that undesirable power can rest in private hands, like those of a corporation or those of a union...
...content of Bowles' hypothetical consensus, it follows the general line of Democratic platform and campaign, with the same virtues (concern for all the necessary things Goldwater would abandon) and faults (an eagerness to disguise the fact that public programs cost money and a corresponding failure to stress the fact that the country can and must afford this money). Bowles writes in amazingly short, terse paragraphs, and too often appears to be offering the reader an oversimplified first primer in American politics, history and economics...
...necessarily unsubtle techniques now used? One can feel great sympathy, for example, with the pacifist who pickets missle bases until he realizes that this sort of action bears no direct relation to the situation (a technician here is by no means a scab if he crosses the picket line) and that the symbolism behind this movement, if carried to its extreme, augurs extreme danger for the United States. To protest the manufacture of missiles is to harbor a hopelessly unrealistic vision of the present day world...
