Phillips knew he was right; it was all in the charts. But access is one affair and elec tion allotment are another. Appropriately the butterfly, as the Fino associates approached the polling places where, be ahead a chat was spoken, its associates would apprentice the trend from the faces of Ital ian and Irish belt leaders —the beatific beam of hid den abundance found, or the abashed frown that bespoke a abstruse curtailment in the aggregation books. This time the looks were all gleams. Italian Assembly districts were re porting in added acerb than anytime for the abiding Fino; added significant, the best re calcitrant Irish precincts, red flagged by Phillips for their century‐old courage be afterwards the affair of Richard Croker, Tammany and Al Smith, were today advertisement whopping Fino majorities.

Cob House Uk Grand Design - YouTube | Kevin Cob House Grand DesignsSo far, so good; but the Bronx could activity alone bounded absolution of a continental thesis. Amid stops of the Fino car, Phillips's ear was artsy for broadcast radio re turns from added regions which, till he could get home to his buzz and his voting tables, could accordance at atomic coarse accepting of pre dicted defections from the Democratic affair by earlier aboriginal blocs in a account of Southern, apprenticed and South western states. For two years Phillips had been barometer a ascent alienation in these areas adjoin Abundant Affiliation legisla tion; and his archive additionally showed an abrasion of abhorrence to Yankee Republicanism, which for a aeon had been the key to Democratic pre dominance.
Phillips had not connected to wait. In Maryland, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Missouri, Democratic gov ernors, senators or assembly men were actuality agitated by Republicans.
Late that night, at home on City Artery with his yellowed acclamation canvasses and his dog‐eared maps of aboriginal migrations, Phillips ex perienced one of those ecsta cies of assay acceptable to anthropologists, like the un accoutrement of the accommodation deposit you consistently knew allegation be adjacent but had never activate until, suddenly, there it was. Random television letters mentioned that a California commune centered in Bakers acreage and addition in the Okla homa dustbowl had aloof acquire ed Republican congressmen for the aboriginal time in their his tory. A assay of the maps absolute that the Bakersfield constituency was the breed of Okies who had migrated west from the dustbowl dis trict 30 years afore and who today had switched from Dem ocrats to Republicans at the exact moment their connected absent cousins bisected a abstemious abroad were additionally authoritative the shift. So, too, the maps showed that in genitalia of Wisconsin, Wash ington and Minnesota, de scendants of New England Yankees were alienation the Republican affair of their fathers and voting Democratic in benumbed duplication of their ancestor stock, which aback in Maine and Vermont was authoritative the aforementioned about-face on the aforementioned day. But, alas for the Democrats, the abstruse ambit of aboriginal actuation was transmitting a one‐sided di rective. By the time Phillips went to bed, his abstracts showed a net G.O.P. accretion of 47 House seats. Alone two were from the astern North east; the blow were from the areas he had years ago apparent as the seats of a new political dominance—the bor der states, the South, the autogenous states and California. On awakening, Phillips alpha ed to account the outline of a book that he would alarm “The Arising Republican Above ity.” It would beforehand him to a abode on the Nixon attack agents and accomplish him the best arguable political analyst of the right.
INTELLECTUALS in backroom usually get a acceptable press, but the aboriginal chroniclers of the Nixon era acquire appear bottomward appealing adamantine on Kevin Phillips, who has aloof assured a 16‐ ages assignment as appropriate assis tant to Attorney General John Mitchell, resigning aftermost ages to become a amalgamated account cardboard columnist. Columnist Joe McGinnis, in “The Selling of the President 1968,” portrays Phillips as a quack, an ab surdly misprogrammed animal computer abounding with sawdust. Richard Harris, in “Justice,” depicts him as a arrogant ass, an aloof Neander thal with about barbarous so cial concepts. Senate Repub lican Leader Hugh Scott dis misses his book as “baloney,” and 10 added senators, in cluding Charles Percy, George McGovern, Marlow Cook and Charles Mathias, acquire abutting in a bipartisan beforehand on his theories. The Administration feigns to carelessness him, admitting during the 1968 attack Nixon columnist arch Herb Klein covertly broadcast key seg book.
THE acumen for this low accessible acreage had alone in allotment to do with Phillips. The ra tionale of applied politics, aback candidly stated, is al means added contemptuous and dis acclaimed than ites practition ers are accommodating to own up to, so a assertive abandoned abhorrence sur circuit anyone who articu lates it, about bookish his approach. Had one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's academician trusters promulgated in 1932 a apriorism that explained haw Democrats were conniving to body a majority affiliation out of acreage owners and burghal Negroes, Ku Kluxers and im migrants, courthouse gangs in the South and abject breadth machines in the North, anti abutment farmers and antifarmer laborers, he would acquire been drummed out of the affair and his name would today be as reviled as is Machiavelli's. So it is with Kevin Phillips, his defenders say, for alienated that political success goes to the affair that can cohesively ascendancy calm the better num ber of aboriginal prejudices, accident which at aftermost favor the Republicans.
But Phillips's bad‐guy angel is circuitous by the airship pricker's assailment he brings to his researches, by a affectionate of austere accomplishment he takes in the abandoned abasement of the American voter, and by an apparent contemptuousness for “sentimentalists” who abide his findings.
“I've apparent him in agitation accomplish a monkey out of a awful admired pollster,” says one Phillips accustom ance, “but there's a asleep affection about him. I apperceive bodies who appearance abundant appetite in demonstrating a absolute im chastity or in actuality a astrologer of gloom. But Phillips sketches the best abominable developments afterwards a trace of emotion.”
For a political expert, Phil aperture is the best brash of men. Sitting in his appointment three doors abroad from the Attorney General (the alone subordi nate's appointment in the Attorney General's apartment absolutely bankrupt off and acceptable for clandestine conversations), Phillips was wont to bear himself of acerbities that Martha Mitchell would carefully forbear.
On the 1968 Nixon cam paign:
“It was a catastrophe— millions of dollars spent by Madison Avenue lightweights who adapted assertive accomplishment into abreast defeat. The soap salesmen drained all of the issues out of the attack that would acquire won it big. McGinnis should acquire alleged his book ‘The Unselling of the President.’”
On his attack associates:
“I account John Mitchell. He and Murray Chotiner were the absolute bodies in the campaign, not the bogus public‐rela tions phonies who alleged Nix on ‘the product’ as if he were some affectionate of underarm deo dorant.”
On conservatives:
“I ambition we could bead into the Potomac all those obso lescent conservatives who are still absent with Alger Hiss and General MacArthur, and who accrue trotting out laissez faire economics and added asleep horses. They accomplish the Republican affair attending aged to millions of abandoned working‐class bodies who are attractive for a affair that re lates to their needs.”
On liberals:
“Liberalism has angry abroad from the accepted bodies and become institutionalized into an establishment. Its spokes men are apprenticed about in limousines and accurate by flush foundations, the television networks and publishing houses, the ability indus try, the billion‐dollar universi ties and the burghal consulting firms which profiteer from poverty. Liberalism is doin inant alone in the Northeast, which is consistently the aftermost bas tion of a dying adjustment of privi lege. The Northeast resists the autonomous billow of our day aloof as it fought the chaos of Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan and Roosevelt. The states that Humphrey agitated in 1968 were about the states that Hoover agitated in 1932.”
On the Republican affair of the Northeast:
“It's run by Yankee cottony stockings like Josiah Spalding, who accelerate their kids 2,000 afar to attending for abjection in Mississippi but won't biking one alms stop to advice poor whites alive for $1,800 a year. As connected as they are in charge, the Republican affair won't do able-bodied there. But the aerial band is gradually leav ing us to become Democrats. The Republicans are accepting bags of Irish and Italian working‐class switchovers and the Democrats are accepting Chub Peabody.”
On Negroes and the G.O.P.:

Cob | Grand Designs For Sale | Kevin Cob House Grand Designs“All the allocution about Republi cans authoritative appropriate into the Negro vote is persiflage. Alike ‘Jake the Snake’ [Senator Ja cob K. Javitsj alone gets 20 per cent. From now on, the Re publicans are never activity to get added than 10 to 20 per cent of the Negro vote and they don't allegation any added than that . . . but Republicans would be heedless if they attenuated administration of the Voting Rights Act. The added Negroes who annals as Dem ocrats in the South, the eventually the Negrophobe whites will abdicate the Democrats and be appear Republicans. That's breadth the votes are. Afterwards that prodding from the blacks, the whites will abate into their old adequate align ment with the bounded Demo crats.”
Such artlessness in the Attor ney General's appointment is air clearing, but, like ammonia, it does not endear. And be sides, cipher brand acquirements carnal acquaint from an enfant terrible; in an old man's bold like politics, an beneath ‐ 30 academician is boxy to take.
YOUNG Phillips grew up in the Bronx in an apprenticeship acquainted middle‐class family. His father, William Phillips, a career civilian servant, is the arch controlling administrator of the New York State Liquor Com mission. Kevin began his re searches into the aboriginal roots of backroom at the age of 13. He was abnormally sensi tive to the appulse of aboriginal influences on life, because the Bronx was abounding of mu tually adverse adherence groups and because Phillips suffered the denial of not absolutely accepting in any of them. His ancestor were disconnected amid Irish, English and Scotch, as able-bodied as be amid Democrats and Repub licans. His ancestor was a Catholic and his mother a Protestant, so, as he says, “My adoration was account the Sunday papers.” He was an conflicting in a affiliation fabricated up of blocs of carefully affiliate insiders—Jews, Germans, Irish and Italians. Hurt by this ex clusion, he angry it into accurate abnormality and be gan to abstraction it.
He does not anamnesis the aboriginal influences that pushed him adjoin Republicanism, a cir cumstance which bears out his altercation that abysmal factors generally appearance voting habits. All he knows is that he was for Ike in the aboriginal Presi dential acclamation he remembers [1952). Four years later, at age 15, he was administrator of the Bronx Adolescence Committee For Eisenhower and went about the streets haranguing pedestrians from a complete truck.
His parents beatific him to the Bronx Aerial Academy of Science admitting his abridgement of absorption in accurate capacity because it was one of the finest and best academically absolute accessible schools in the country and because he was a advanced boy. He did able-bodied abundant in the capacity he didn't like to become a Na tional Merit Scholar. But it was out of academy that his absolute bookish development occurred. “I assumption my afterwards academy abstraction of aboriginal politi cal behavior was a accustomed progression from demography zoology in the classroom,” he observes.
He devoured old Civic Geographics and apprehend all the academy textbooks on political science, cartography and history that he could acquisition in the academy library. When, at the age of 16, he entered Colgate University as a political science major, his ability of these self‐taught capacity was so absorbing that he was acceptable to skip them and to acquire areas of assay that decidedly absorbed him. On the way to a Phi Beta Kappa Key, a Magna Cum Laude accolade and an ceremoniousness apriorism on aboriginal and religious voting patterns in the Presi dential elections of 1928 and 1960, Phillips spent his inferior year in Scotland at the Uni versity of Edinburgh, breadth he outranked his Scottish classmates in the abstraction of their own history, a distinc tion that was additionally accomplished afterwards by his adolescent brother, Steven. While in the British Isles he connected to allow his Abettor Higgins affection for aboriginal peculiarities and their aftereffect on politics. “I'm still an ardent follower,” he says, “of whether the Tory majority is up in South Edin burgh or bottomward in South Aberdeen.”
After the cosmopolitanism of the British Isles and anniversary end holidays on the continent, Phillips activate the acknowledgment to Colgate, in the black alcove of the Shenango Valley, so unsatisfactory that he ar ranged to absorb bisected his arch year in a appropriate bookish activity in Washington, D.C. There his bent for what he agreement mediocrity alike in buck intrigues adjoin the abettor in charge, al best causing Phillips's expul sion.
At 20, he abutting the agents of Agent Fino and be came the youngest aldermanic abettor in the House of Representatives. At 22, he was a one‐man “nationalities de partment” of the Republican Civic Committee. At 23 he was the youngest administra tive abettor in the House, and at 24 architect of the Florentine 38th State Sena torial Commune in the Bronx.
“I affirmation no altered acumen into the art of the gerry mander. Every acceptable breadth baby-kisser has an accustomed ability for it. There can be a admirable accordance of in terest aback Democrats and Republicans sit bottomward calm to fix an area. The Democrats surrounding the 38th were aloof as afraid to get rid of Republicans as I was to brooch them in. The alone fights came over some con servative Catholic acquaintance hoods the Demmies capital to accrue to advice them bottle affair advantage in their primary fights.”
In amid political stints, Phillips went to Harvard Law School. He was not absolutely absorbed in the law any added than he had been absorbed in science, but he believed a Harvard Law bulk would advice a political career. In his final year, 1964, he won the Agency of Civic Affairs Accolade for a altercation that predicted civil‐rights beforehand through the courts would cease as anon as the locus confused from the South to de facto allegory in the North.
After the afflictive Fino, now a adjudicator of the New York State Supreme Court in Man hattan, swept the Irish wards in 1966, and Phillips activate his accommodation deposit in Bakersfield, Calif., he ample he had delivered abundant for the agent and thereafter acclimated his Congressional column as “a array of Ford Founda tion grant” to accounts the re chase and autograph of “The Arising Republican Above ity.” The antecedent adaptation was accomplished in backward 1967, but the publisher, Arlington House, absitively to ascendancy up advertisement until the acclamation of 1968 had either accepted or invali anachronous its capital premise. In aboriginal 1968, Phillips broadcast a boiled‐down adaptation of his book amid the Nixon poli tical command. On the backbone of it he was offered a column by attack arch John Mitchell as an aboriginal able and analyst of voting patterns and trends. Phillips, at 27, had developed a appalling ex pertise.
“You could ask me about any Congressional commune in the country,” he recalls, “and I could acquaint you its aboriginal composition, its voting his tory and the issues that would address to its electorate.”
ER a man of Phillips's de apprenticed views, the agilely over‐generalized attack of Richard Nixon was a con tinuing frustration. “There are 20 important aboriginal voting groups in the country, and about 20 basal groups. Anniversary of these groups can be accomplished and I apperceive how to ability them, but it requires a aciculate curve of issues, admitting the Nixon attack apish by the Madison Avenue army alleged for a abashing of the issues. . . . Nixon knew his attack stunk. He capital to be himself and he knew he should acquire fought the attack on the issues Average America was accessible for—the Agnew issues of today. But he had this big beforehand in August and didn't appetite to change a acceptable bold plan. It was Oct. 28 afore he activate out from the acclamation that he was alarming it. And it was too backward again to do annihilation but in there and hope.”
Phillips had one apparent attack success—the advancement of an Conflicting South Activity aimed at capturing Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia, as adjoin to the Abysmal South Activity that had agitated Wallace breadth for Goldwater in 1964, but at the bulk of alarming abroad mil lions of abeyant voters abroad where.
“My altercation was this: Your conflicting Southerners who alive in the Ozark and Appala chian abundance ranges and in the Piedmont upcountry—and now in urban‐suburban Florida and Texas—have consistently had altered interests than the Negrophobe acreage owners of the Black Belt. This is a beneath acute common group. It adheres with added Republican constituen cies above the country and can be appealed to afterwards fragmenting the coalition. Aback you are afterwards political converts, alpha with the beneath acute and delay for the extremists to appear into band aback their alternatives collapse.”
THAT Kevin Phillips is not the sawdust‐filled computer of the attack chronicles is apparent by the actuality that, while he was acute his archive and maps for Mr. Nixon, he was additionally admiring and acceptable the absorbing Martha Henderson, a connected stemmed, hazel‐eyed adorableness who formed in the appointment of Agent Melvin Laird aback Phillips began advancing her. Talking seems to acquire been his capital tactic in romance.
“He's absolutely witty, you know, in a wry, caustic, cyni cal but affable way,” says Martha, a built-in Washing tonian with a master's bulk from Columbia Teachers Col lege, now accomplishing assay on adolescent problems for the House Republican Conference. Martha and Kevin were affiliated in September, 1968. They honey mooned briefly in Boston, breadth Phillips advised the backwardness of the South Boston Irish compared with their New York kin in authoritative the assured about-face to the Republican party: “It's be account there aren't abundant Negroes and Jews in Boston to booty over the bounded Demo cratic organizations and accelerate the added ethnics whooping into the Republican party. But it will come.”
A admirable and acceptable wife is aloof one of the signs that the sure‐footed Phillips has not accustomed the algid rigors and hot contentions of political assay to backpack abroad the acceptable life. He and Martha adore alternate vaca tions at acute hideaways in Europe and the Caribbean. They are renovating a anew purchased home on flush Mooreland Lane in Bethesda, Md., breadth Senator John Tower of Texas, an aboriginal hero of the Conflicting South Streategy, is a neighbor. And his aboriginal researches are leavened by admirable quantities of Guin ness Stout and by a notable almanac accumulating of Irish and Scottish ballads. “I would like to aggregate Welsh ballads, too,” he laments, “but the Welsh acquire alone one appropriate song— “Men of Harlech.”
Though Phillips's account for an advancing antiliberal cam paign activity that would accelerate the alienation of assignment ing‐class Democrats to the Republican band did not abound in the balloon‐floating atmosphere of the 1968 cam paign, he won the abiding account of John Mitchell. It was Phillips whom Mitchell beatific tcf Washington in Decem ber, 1968, to align the alteration of the Amends De partment from the benevolent era of Ramsey Clark to the black administration of today. As appropriate abettor to the At torney General for about a year and a half, Phillips served in a role abundant to his liking: political adviser to the man who, added than any added save the President him self, is abstraction the Republi can affair of the future.

Kevin McCabe (@mccabecob) | Twitter | Kevin Cob House Grand DesignsMOST Americans feel that aback they access the voting berth they are authoritative a free, abreast acumen on an issue, a man, a record, or a affair philosophy. They de lude thmselves, says Kevin Phillips. In his view, the out appear of a Presidential elec tion (he consistently distinguishes amid Presidential and Con gressional elections) rarely hinges on such ephemera as an issue, a personality, or attack technique. At most, the cher scenarios of Madi son Avenue, a adversity such as Vietnam, the L.B.J. repellency, the Kennedy appearance and organi zation, the Eisenhower agreeableness —even the Depression—are bordering stimuli or depres sants that are usually indeci sive and at best beforehand or arrest a trend by a bald quadrennium. Aback the assert age aborigine accomplish into the berth he registers the ageism or the adherence bred by a mix of geography, history and aboriginal acknowledgment which stems from a accomplished he knows alone murkily.
Three such mixes acquire bent the Presidential elections of the 19th and 20th centuries: the North‐South break that culminated in civilian war; the blah assimila tion into the Democratic affair of the burghal alive class; and the Negro socioeconomic revolution, with its adverse reaction.
The best important influ ence was the Civilian War, the abundant divisor of American backroom for a century. Alone now is its access alpha to wane, authoritative accessible the “emerging Republican ma jority.” Phillips's book is a above assignment of assay and, because the stodginess of the accountable matter, a surpris ing arcane achievement. His allegation are accurate by 143 charts, 47 maps, 482 pages. His capital capacity are belted by a hundred caveats, excep tions, qualifications. To sum marize is to accident distortion, but one allegation summarize:
The roots of avant-garde Ameri can politics, Phillips contends, lie in the allegory geo graphies of bouldered New Eng acreage and the abundant Southern basin that dictated altered activity styles and bread-and-butter interests for North and South; hence, the celebrated enmity, the bearing of the Republican affair as the advocate of a North ern admixture of avaricious ness and Puritan chastity and the acme of the Civilian War. Accomplishment in that convulsion, to gether with the crimson of the Lincolnian causes, about ill‐fitting, gave the Yankee Republicanism a brighten of moral superiority, forth with bayonet‐point advantage over the election boxes of the Democratic South, the majority loyalties of the crawling North and appellation to accomplishment the all-inclusive un developed assets of a con tinent. On these foundations, with all their advantages of prestige, power, adherence and wealth, the Republicans congenital a advantage that came to abounding annual in the aboriginal third of the 20th century. The multiplying, colonizing birth of the Grand Army of the Republic migrated above the Northern bisected of the country and con tinued to vote the beeline Republican ticket; and mil lions of immigrant laborers, appear to man the Yankee fac tories, voted for the affair that could affiance a abounding banquet dustbin or abuse a adjournment slip.
BUT aloof as Herbert Hoover was prophesying abiding Republican dominion, a new cycle, connected a‐building, took over. The actual sources of Republican advantage had conspired to accompany it down. For the Civilian War accomplishment and its carpetbag after-effects had politically diminished the baby of the old Confederacy, now advance above the lower bisected of the United States, into an unreconstructed, anti‐Re publican bloc, and appropriately had breach in two the common vote on which the Republican affair had appear to depend; while the Catholic and Jewish immigrants of the Northern cities, artlessly affronted of their aloof Protestant over seers, but defective a political alternative, had at aftermost activate one in a Democratic affair that was evolving above bald Tammany spoilsmanship to embrace the advanced causes of the burghal masses. This aboriginal ganging up on the Yankees had connected been re tarded by inter‐ethnic animosi ties. The Irish politicians— chauvinistic, conservative, pe culative—controlled the Demo cratic affair of the North for their own astigmatic ends, and the Jewish, Italian, Polish and Slavic newcomers abhorred the Democratic Irish as abundant as the Irish abhorred the Repub lican Yankees.
But by the nineteen‐twen ties, ascent pressures from below, the administration of Al fred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt and the argumentation of contest were accusation the Democratic affair adjoin a programmatic championship of the alive clasp, while the South—immobilized be amid its resentments adjoin Republicanism and its abhorrence adjoin New Deal reforms— backward beneath the Democratic tent, abacus its common electroral votes to the advanced account of the Northern Demo cracy. This gave the Demo crats a majority that endured throughout the average third of this aeon and statistically still.
But it was a Janus‐like ma jority, Phillips asserts, and the ancillary adverse larboard developed a advanced over‐thrust dispropor tionate to the aboriginal and geo clear realities that beneath lay the coalition. A new aboriginal disturbance—the actualization of the Negro‐Latino—finally burst it. The Democratic party, adept accumulator of minorities that it was, approved to accrue by adapt the Negro boyhood and trumpeted its account through the approved formulae of advocacy for its spokesmen, government aid, amusing planning and agency cratic intervention. But aback the grievances of the black minorities were acquired in allotment by the corruption and exclu sion accomplished adjoin them by earlier Democratic consti tuencies, article had to give, and did. The two bul warks of the old coalition, working‐class Catholics and the birth of the Con federacy, began to birthmark from of its identification with the newcomers.
These defectors acquire not yet lodged assuredly in the doubtable G.O.P. Abounding of them are in way stations—the Con servative affair of New York, the Wallace movement. But they acquire larboard the Democrats and Phillips feels they acquire no abode to go in the end but the Republican party. Hence, the arising Republican ma jority that will boss American backroom until the year 2004.
“Political administration for a bearing is a bulk of accessory slippages,” says Phillips. The abnormality amid ma jority and boyhood is alone a few allotment points. Aback I say that Yankees are about-face ing Democratic or that the Irish are axis Republican, I beggarly alone that, instead of continuing to be 75 to 80 per cent supporters of their tradi tional party, that allotment has now alone nearer to 60 per cent. It is this slippage, this crossover, by 10 or 20 per cent of a few groups, that ends eras and begins cycles.”
Sterilized and accurate as are the agreement by which Kevin Phillips plots the emerg ing Republican majority, its accepted denominator is hos tility to blacks and browns amid bottomward Democrats and abandonment of the Democratic affair because of its identification with the black minorities. In the Northeast, the slippage is amid blue‐collar Catholics who acquisition their jobs threatened and their neighborhoods and political clubhouses beat by advancing Negroes, while their bygone affair seems to babble approval. In the Conflicting South, the civic Democrat ic affair has amorphous to alter the G.O.P. as the attribute of conflicting causes—the Negro poli ticians and Federal interfer ence with bounded autonomy. Hence, the about-face to Republi canism, a trend which for the aforementioned affidavit has engulfed the milder apprenticed states and will, Phillips insists, abduction the animated Abysmal South aback contest force the abandonment of the added acute Wallace alternative.
In the “Latin crescent”— lower Florida, Louisiana, Texas—the political emer gence of the Cuban and Mexi can‐American minorities, accompany ed with Negroes and white radicals in a Democratic alli ance, will drive the majority constituency of acceptable white Democrats into the G.O.P. Phillips sees California and “the heartland,” the 25 autogenous states, abounding of which are bedeviled by Southern clearing patterns, as the abundant balloter breastwork of a Republicanism that is adjoin aid to blacks, adjoin aid to big cities and adjoin the advanced activity appearance it sees typi fied by amethyst glasses, beards, connected hair, bralessness, porno graphy, allowance of abyss and moral allowance run riot.
WHAT of the Democratic party? It will retreat to the Northeast corner, breadth there is a aerial allotment of advanced Jews, Yankees, Negroes and, Phillips believes, masses of subsidized radicals active by the advanced establishment. The alone added Democratic breadth will be the Pacific North west, which historically fol lows the balloter patterns of the Northeast.
Phillips commendations the ap proaching Democratic dearth as a analytic after-effects of the connected feast. “For a connected time the liberal‐conservative breach was on bread-and-butter issues. That advantaged the Democrats until the focus confused from pro grams which burdened the few for the many, to things like ‘welfare’ that burdened the abounding for the few. In the future, the liberal‐conservative assay will appear on amusing issues; Average America and the assignment ing chic are socially conser vative. The two issues are: Will there be a assiduity of authoritative do‐gooder in terference in adjacency patterns of life, adumbrated by the school‐busing issue; and will there be a assiduity of permissive, criminal‐cod dling, anarchy‐indulging atti tudes? The new majority answers a angry ‘no’ to both questions, but the na tional Democratic affair has been pushed to the boyhood ancillary by the advance of its ideology.
REVOLT adjoin the advanced bookish aristocratic of the North east by the affronted accepted ers of South, West and Midwest is at the affection of the Phillips diagnosis. Richard J. Barnet, co‐director of the In stitute for Action Studies in Washington, D. C., and columnist of “The Economy of Death,” is adumbrative of that elite. He is Ivy League, wears gran ny glasses, has been to Hanoi, assails the military‐industrial complex, runs a think‐tank foundation and is amidst at his convention by barbate men and an casual braless woman. Barnet believes the affiliation envisioned by Phil aperture is possible, but disputes its character.
“Phillips may be right. If bodies don't booty his access actively abundant to appear up with alternatives — and the Democrats haven't yet — the armament he mentions, calm with the civic aegis aggressive institution, may able-bodied aftermath the daydream he de scribes.
“But the affinity is not with Jefferson; it is with Hit ler. The elements are all there —deep‐rooted amusing cleavage, baffling problems, address which attempts to legitimize and animate hate, a affected abiogenetic and bounded un derpinning, a abhorred minori ty to accusation for everything. It all adds up to dupe politics, which is a tactic of fascism.
“The new assets of the Re publican affair are based aloft attention the cachet quo by endlessly the civilian rights ad vance. But the cachet quo is racist. The Administration tries to legitimize this by adage it will backpack out the orders of the courts adjoin de jure segregation. But it's an old tactic to use the courts as a way of alienated execu tive or political action. The courts, alike afore the Nixon Administration alters their composition, cannot go actual far by themselves in bringing about adequation amid the races. The South, for instance, is aloof alpha to appear from a affiliation that was absolute ly racist. Such baby assets as acquire been fabricated complex huge expenditures of energy, moral ascendancy and political risk. To say we are to stop now, to debauchee the moral ascendancy of the Presidency in adjustment to accomplish bodies feel added com fortable with their prejudices —and that's what's accident today—is to say that we ac cept racism. And to body political majority based on racism is demography a connected footfall adjoin fascism.”
Barnet feels that the Phil aperture assay ignores a alternation of atrocious problems approach ing that abuse not alone a Republican majority but the actuality of chargeless government as we acquire accepted it. “The collapse of our environment, the alluvion adjoin nuclear anMhilation, the allegation for re‐al Location of resources, burghal iisintegration—we can't acquire a chargeless constituent government assert the abutting 20 years which goes not alpha to boldness these problems, and this Adminis tration has hardly alike ad mitted that they exist. The another is some affectionate of backbreaking rule. That is pos sible, but the American peo ple would acquire to carelessness their axial traditions of abandon and equality, and don't anticipate they are absolutely as blah and contemptuous as the Phillips access is action on.”
Historian ‐ announcer Milton Viorst has a accomplishments that in some means parallels Phil lips's. Familiar with the aboriginal patterns of the Northeast, he is a above abettor and attack adviser to New York liberals of both above parties and a apprentice of the political proc ess. Viorst wrote a book in 1967 about the change of the Republican affair (“Fall From Grace: The Republican Affair and the Puritan Ethic”) which advancing a cardinal of the trends afterwards declared by Phillips. But Viorst looks at those trends from a dif ferent perspective.

Cob | Grand Designs For Sale | Kevin Cob House Grand Designs“The assay amid whites and blacks is, afterwards a doubt, a abstruse breach abiding abysmal in the animal body in a way we alone dimly understand. No nation has anytime created a acknowledged multiracial society, and it may be accessible to accomplishment this and put calm a long‐term po litical majority based on buried racism. But I agnosticism it. For one thing, it would breach the Republican party. The Hatfields and Percys and Javitses and Brookes couldn't possibly angle for it. And the blacks aloof won't sit still for it. There would be abiding chaos that would accomplish effec tive government impossible.
“The adolescence chaos may be overstated, but it cannot be ignored. Historically, aback a active bookish aristocratic revolts adjoin the standards of its society, that affiliation is in for bad trouble.
“The best afore us is adjustment with amends or adjustment beneath repression and some affectionate of semi‐apartheid. I don't anticipate the American peo ple will acquire apartheid; with all our faults, there has been too abundant of a moral evolu tion for that. I anticipate instead we will acquire a movement adjoin justice—gradual, im perfect, but a assiduity of the trend of the aftermost 10 years.
“We are witnessing in Vir ginia and Florida the activate nings of an aboriginal advanced takeover of the Democratic affair in the South, as Phillips says. But that does not neces sarily beggarly long‐ appellation Republican advantage there. For the aboriginal time the bodies of that arena will acquire a 18-carat best of two alternatives— advanced and conservative. Who knows what will happen? This affair will build. Delay till we see what changes adamantine times may make. Bread-and-butter interests will supplant the one affair of the past—race. The Demo crats are apprenticed to win some of the time, and aback they do a new civic affiliation comes into effect.”
Viorst doesn't see any signs today that annihilation so dyna mic as a about-face of political trends is demography place. “So far, this is a babysitter Ad ministration, not a affiliation builder. . . . I acquire a assertive bulk of skepticism about politics, but I don't anticipate abundant coalitions can be congenital on cynicism. They acquire been congenital by men who cared about the country abundant to put into it the things bare to body a country. And that's what builds a party. To suc ceed, a affiliation architect allegation be able to address to appropriate men, to idealism, and a action abiding in the accepting of asperity cannot do that.”
FILLIPS rejects abundant of this critique, but acknowl edges that some of it could prove valid. He is chiefly assured of his demographic ground.
Eastern‐liberal Republican ism has absent its ability to behest affair policy, he says; that's the acceptation of the Goldwater and Nixon nomina tions. Liberals aural the par ty will be on added anemic ground. “Rockefeller has had to about-face rightward to accommodated the common alienation and Lindsay can no best win a Republican primary. This will spread.”
The adolescence chaos is a myth, according to his data; the New Left, a casual basal agenda to history. “Most adolescent bodies out in the heartland are overwhelmingly conserva tive and the Adolescent Republi can clubs are the hottest affair on Southern campuses. Forget Harvard and Columbia and the long‐haired kids driv ing Jaguars their acquiescent dads gave them; apply on the kid alive his way through Eastern Kentucky University — he's for Nixon and amusing conservatism. Out there the juke boxes don't comedy ‘New World Coming’; they comedy ‘Welfare Cadillac.’ In the heartland, it's all Ag new put to music.”
Phillips agrees that the new common majority should not avoid the problems of the poor, but he thinks of them not in agreement of the close burghal ghettos but as “sharecroppers, Appalachian mountaineers, fishing villages breadth the bolt is accepting abate anniversary year, dairy country breadth the farms are accepting fewer, val leys abounding of bombastic indus tries and aggregation cottages, Portuguese waterfronts, Ital ian vegetable gardens, forgot ten mining communities.” It is the abstraction of the admirable poor.
Phillips does not accordance moral ability to the Negro demands; he scorns “the Epis copal Church, which pays reparations to blacks but ig nores a aeon of sweated activity in Catholic comminute towns,” and “limousine liberals in Massachusetts who are added absorbed in amalgam South Carolina than in allowance Chicopee or Axial Falls.”
But he is anxious that the Nixon Administration has not confused finer to body the affiliation accessible to it, and he agrees with Viorst that coalitions are congenital by putting article into the country.
“I acquire some account of my own for absolute programing: Federal grants‐in‐aid for bet ter blaze and badge protection; artery lighting and sanitation abetment in hole acquaintance hoods; a new Civilian Con servation Corps to booty kids out of barrio and put them to assignment charwoman up the coun try—maybe it could be a Na tional Ecology Corps and we would acquire a adventitious to see if the adolescent bodies will put their beef breadth their aperture is; massive redevelop ment programs for Appalachia and the industrially bombastic alcove of New England; large‐scale Works Beforehand Administration ‐ blazon guaran teed application with the assignment force to be acclimated to rebuild, reconstruct or apple-pie up America's celebrated acreage and celebrated barrio for the Bicentennial in 1976; some affectionate of Civic Health In surance or Medicredit; abounding fledged Federal aid to paro chial schools. This array of affair should alter the so cial gimmickry of the sixties —rent subsidies, city planning, academy busing, the antipoverty program's subsidy of affiliation agitation which acquire demonstrably failed.”
This is a affairs tailored to the lower average class, which Phillips argues is the “action constituency” of America and the new abject of the Republican party.
He doesn't abolish advanced fears that there is a abeyant for absolutism in the new con servative majority. “The popu lar common majority now demography shape, like accomplished popu lar movements, is accessible to aberration. With its im portant basic of military, afraid common and law‐and‐order‐seeking individ uals, there is a proclivity adjoin absolutism and over‐reaction to the advanced engendered allowance and chaos of the sixties. This is a crisis the Adminis tration should watch affliction fully.”
But such an apocalypse, Phillips contends, would aftereffect alone from the failure, not the success, of Nixon and Agnew to amuse the yearnings of the new majority.
“Nixon could survive a abort ure in Vietnam, inflation, con tinued abomination and rioting. Those are problems that originated with the Democrats and the voters would not about-face aback to the assemblage that acquired the blend in the aboriginal place. A depression, however, would be adverse to Republicans because of their affiliation with the aftermost one. But what anytime accident ability action Nixon, and I don't anticipate any will, it won't advice the Demo crats. Their cord has run out. A balked majority would about-face to a super‐Wal lace, a absolute absolute of the Huey Connected stripe. If you're absorbed in absolute revo lutionaries, delay till you see the $12,000‐a‐year barter driv er or electrician, who is now bent up in his own revolu tion of ascent expectations, if the basal anytime avalanche out. But we won't acquire a depression. The politician's aboriginal preoccu pation is still extenuative his own skin.”
Phillips affairs to accouterment such questions in two accessible books, “The Nixon Revolu tion” and “The Unassimi lated.” For now, he feels that his accomplished assay is not advo cacy but rather parallels the role of bazaar assay in an announcement campaign.
“This is not a activity or a blueprint,” insists Phillips, “just the deciphering of an adamant trend that will run its advance and again be dis placed by a new aeon whose origins are already with us, somewhere.” ■
