...dismissed for his unorthodox ways, poor people and blacks (El Dorado has only a few) deprived of their rightful unemployment benefits. The complaints are utterly earnest, sincere, not negligible-yet not major, either. One feels that much of the confrontation in this community is still symbolic-repression still more verbal than actual, dissent still token and vague. It is perhaps significant that most of these dissenters have come to El Dorado-in a rather touching desire to help-from other communities. El Dorado has to import its rebels. But this does not mean that it fails to be troubled, indeed...
...drafted mental health programs and welfare reform legislation. As Massachusetts attorney general from 1967 to 1969, he handled many cases arguing the cause of civil rights. Officials sitting in meetings with Richardson are often fascinated by his endless, highly intricate doodles. They soon find that the verbal points he is making simultaneously with his doodles are just as well structured. "He speaks in paragraphs," says an admiring friend...

The New Left caucus, on the other hand, possessed more charismatic leaders like Michael Ansara '68, and a looser ideology more attractive to non-SDS students...
...week long, Administration critics had been demanding more than verbal reassurance. New York Mayor John Lindsay called for a mandatory six-month freeze on wages and prices. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a 22-nation body, released a report that urged consideration of an "incomes policy" of voluntary controls. Banker David Rockefeller urged Nixon to depart from his economic game plan in favor of a little jawboning -or presidential persuasion-in an effort to hold down wage and price hikes. Even Congress, which has been notably reluctant to pass stringent anti-inflation measures, showed signs of its deep...
