...deeply scarring his political future; in the words of West Coast journalist Mary Ellen Leary, he has been branded "a surfer on every popular wave, a politician who veers to the current fad with an intuition as unerring as a heat-seeking missile on the hunt of its target...
...main target of the Soviet propaganda campaign was "J. Carter" who, Pravda said, has stirred up "a militaristic chauvinistic psychosis in the U.S.," with the assistance of his principal henchman, Zbigniew Brzezinski. According to Moscow's Literary Gazette, the President's National Security Adviser is a "most dejected conservative" whose "blind hatred for Russia is so great that its very existence offends him."

The most heavily debt-burdened of the companies, Uniroyal is also dragging around a $520 million unfunded vested pension liability, which is equal to more than 80% of its net worth...
...date. It meant ducking hot issues. Robert U. Brown, editor of the trade weekly Editor and Publisher, remembers when Tulsa Editor Jenkin Lloyd Jones first used it in a 1948 speech to a convention of editorial writers. "Many an editorial writer can't hit a short-range target," Jones said. "It takes guts to dig up the dirt on the sheriff, or to expose a utility racket, or to tangle with the Governor. They all bite back, and you had better know your stuff. But you can pontificate about the situation in Afghanistan in perfect safety. You have...
