• Candidates who win while spending less than their opponents still usually have to spend quite a lot.

• We have a dangerous trend beginning to take place in our education. We're starting to put more and more textbooks into our schools. We've become accustomed of late of putting little books into the hands of children, containing fables and moral lessons.
