  • "The delegates were not wearing stage make-up though, and they were not talking to each other in the fervent hope of saying as little as possible. They were extraordinary, so proud and alive and earnest and so damnably naive that it swelled your heart and broke it to watch them, puzzling over the issues, doubting what was best to do, seeking guidance and being raked by the big guns of baloney-power."

    - 'The Big Tease', Germaine Greer in Harper's Monthly Magazine, Oct 1972.
