men liberty libertarian
A tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one, and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.
men intellectual parks
An intellectual is a man who doesn't know how to park a bike.
night men news
I am not asking for government censorship or any other kind of censorship. I am asking whether a kind of censorship already exists when the news that forty million Americans receive each night is determined by a handful of men responsible only to their corporate employers and filtered through a handful of commentators who admit to their own set of biases.
To one extent, if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.
city extent seen slum
I've been in many of them and to some extent I would have to say this; if you've seen one city slum you've seen them all.
clever writing years
Mr. Fulbright hasn't said anything new or interesting or clever in five years; his intellectual well dried up the day after Walter Lippmann stopped writing his regular column.

The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated in a contemporary antagonism known as the generation gap.

views media leader
Every time I criticize what I consider to be excesses or faults in the news business, I am accused of repression, and the leaders of various media professional groups wave the First Amendment as they denounce me. That happens to be my amendment, too. It guarantees my free speech as it does their freedom of the press... There is room for all of us - and for our divergent views - under the First Amendment.
nerves disease germs
It takes quite a bit of nerve for Democrats to complain about inflation. This reminds me of germs complaining about the disease.
