Famous quotes containing the word program:

    O Jesse had a wife, a mourner all her life
    And the children they were brave,
    But the dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
    He laid Jesse James in his grave.
    —Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.
    Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

    A candidate once called his opponent “a willful, obstinate, unsavory, obnoxious, pusillanimous, pestilential, pernicious, and perversable liar” without pausing for breath, and even his enemies removed their hats.
