From Washington Straight

In the past few weeks the New Frontier has undertaken a whole series of steps so far-reaching in implication that they have stunned many here in Washington. Administration critics have reacted with sullen frustration. The reason for the frustration is the simple fact that these developments, which involve the very survival of the United States as a free Republic, have evoked little more than a shrug from the American public. It has been common belief among Republicans, and many Democrats as well, that the Administration is—well, let’s be blunt about it—not completely wedded to the truth. Moreover, there is more than a little evidence that this aversion to the facts is coupled with a slight distaste for principle.
