Richard M. Nixon Quotes

If America Loses World War III [the Cold War], It Will Be Because Of The Failure Of Its Leadership Class. In Particular, It Will Be Because Of The Attention, The Celebrity, And The Legitimacy Given To The 'trendies'--those Over-glamorized Dilettantes Who Posture In The Latest Idea, Mount The Fashionable Protests, And Are Slobbered Over By The News Media, Whose Creation They Essentially Are. The Attention Given Them And Their 'causes' Romanticizes The Trivial And Trivializes The Serious. It Reduces Public Discussion To The Level Of A Cartoon Strip. These Trendies Are Ready With An Opinion At The Drop Of A Microphone, And Their Opinions Are Treated As News--not Because They Are Authorities, But Because They Are Celebrities.
