Most women are pragmatists who have allowed extremists on the left and right to manipulate the family issue for their own purposes.

The effect of the mass media is not to elicit belief but to maintain the apparatus of addiction.

The family is a haven in a heartless world.

Once women begin to question the inevitability of their subordination and to reject the conventions formerly associated with it, they can no longer retreat to the safety of those conventions. The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the clich? that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.

The left has lost touch with popular opinion, thereby making it possible for the right to present itself as the party of common sense.

The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.

The left has come to regard common sense - the traditional wisdom and folkways of the community - as an obstacle to progress and enlightenment.
