24. "The goal of politics should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather
the search for common ground and reasonable consensus."
Issue 2
2. "Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought
before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways."
Argument
34. The following is a letter from an editor at Liber Publishing Company to the
company's president. "In recent years, Liber has unfortunately moved away
from its original mission: to publish the works of regional small-town
authors instead of those of big-city authors. Just last year, 90 percent of
the novels we published were written by authors who maintain a residence in a
big city. Although this change must have been intended to increase profits,
it has obviously backfired, because Liber is now in serious financial
trouble. The only way to address this problem is to return to our original
mission. If we return to publishing only the works of regional small-town
authors, our financial troubles will soon be resolved."

142"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research
and development"
Argument:
134 Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed
signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual
odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these
infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early
autumn, a time when their mothers' production of melatonin — a hormone known
to affect some brain functions — would naturally increase in response to
decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more
than half of these children — now teenagers — who had shown signs of
distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin
before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into
later life.

Issue:
14 "Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful.
They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever
could."
114 "Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and
psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying
human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science."
Argument:
110 When Ida McAllister ran for mayor of Lake City four years ago, she failed
to win even 30 percent of the vote. But since then, McAllister has made
public her commitment to environmental causes. She would be wise, therefore,
to announce her intention to close all Lake City parks to automobile traffic,
thus following the example of the former mayor of Plainsville, Alecia Yu . On
the recommendation of a small group of concerned citizens, Mayor Yu
prohibited automobile traffic in all Plainsville parks, and therefore was
credited with solving the pollution problem and improving the quality of life
in Plainsville. This action would have great appeal to the citizens of Lake
City, most of whom participate in the community's recycling program, and
would guarantee McAllister's success in her current quest to be Lake City's
new mayor.
