This maxim was later adopted by the Nixon administration. It was, no doubt,
the 1960's version of A. Lincoln's 1860's aphorism, "You can fool some of the
people all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time;
but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." Or words to that
effect. Either way you look at it, the 60's were cool.
