...Pleasant Street, between a drugstore and a gas station, there were canyons of books in cardboard boxes (unfortunate because the covers are the best parts), and two fifty-foot tables in the basement where four harassed-looking, prominently-sideburned men were collating stacks of Get US Out of the UN petitions. My guide explained that each Society member had been asked to send in 537 petitions with the same five signatures on each--one for every Congressman, one for the Vice-President, and one for the President. At Belmont the men with the sideburns made packets and sent them...
...power after the civil war, Spain was an underdeveloped country dominated by large landowners and independent peasants. But since 1945 tourism, foreign corporations, and emigrant labor have brought Spain a 7 per cent annual growth rate, the highest in Europe. This Spanish "economic miracle" created a large middle class un-sympathetic to fascist ideology and excluded from the political system. The bunker considers anything to its left as "communist", as did Franco himself, so that middle class forces that are defenders of the status quo elsewhere are part of the left in Spain. The Christian Democrats, for example, are allied...

In the future, it will be plundered, measured and thumbed through for titillation. But the book will remain impervious in all its pocked dignity, authenticity and embattled romanticism...

Weinstein also shows through interviews with the principals in the investigation that Nixon was prepared many times...
...that institution--the Federal Government--that New Yorkers quite correctly look for aid. President Ford, despite his foolhardy rhetoric, mistaken economics and quite un-Republican belief that welfare checks are more important than bond coupons, is not entirely misguided. Clearly, to give New York outright the help it requires would simply encourage other cities to take the same route of overspending. The waste in New York's budget is indefensible, and no-strings-attached aid will not help the city excise the triple cancer of patronage jobs, greedy municipal unions and a welfare system that is well-nigh...
