"I think that cigarette smoking is much more dangerous that marijuana smoking."

How do you account for the widespread political militancy on campuses?

"The militants are a very small minority.... Where you've had trouble, you've had poor administration, weak administration. Where you haven't had trouble, you've had strong administration that's backed by strong boards of regents and governors....

"When a young person says, 'I wanta do my thing,' he's saying the exact same thing that conservatives have been doing for centuries.... We don't want to do our thing at the expense of others."

"I support it, if they really work." Should colleges give the same time off to employees for the same reason?

"I think they [employees] can do it while staying on the job. The students have to learn the political facts of life."

What are you thoughts on Women's Liberation?

"Well, I don't know what the dickens they want that they can't already do. I suppose rights for divorced women who don't have access to alimony are important....

"I don't wanta wake up with a pipe-fitter in the morning. I want a woman."

Do you favor the use of armed troops to control campus violence?

"No, only when it's necessary.... The Kent thing was bound to happen sooner or later."

Why do you think students are using such violent means of protest as the destruction of the Bank of America in California?

"Mainly because they're allowed to.... I have my own idea of what's behind this. I think these things are planned, organized and trained under people who could well have had their training under Communism or under the Che Guevara-type groups in Cuba."

Do you believe there's a conspiracy against policemen?
