...ministates will be using their debating privileges to the maximum, a stupefying-and increasingly serious -problem for the U.N. The U.S. has suggested that the smaller nations be given "associate" membership but no General Assembly vote. Another proposal is that each nation's vote be weighted to reflect the size of its population. With its steadily growing membership, the U.N. promises to become an ever more faithful mirror of Marshall McLuhan's "global village."

Constantly faced with social and historical pressures that threaten his social position, the country music has been able to confer on its audience a heroic dimension missing in their lives and politics...
...television ads, which get most of his campaign money, do, however, reflect an appeal for an end to lawlessness, including white-collar crime. In one he declares: "In New York State tonight, 14-year-old children are going to shoot heroin into their veins . . . some men are going to come home from work, their lungs poisoned by chemicals . . . people are going to sit down and write out checks for padded bills. All of these things are against...
