In this speech, Hillary is introducing herself to the world at large as a leader among the Radicals. She is using language that probably many of the students understood, however, unless you are a Radical, of the Saul Alinsky persuasion, you'd sorta be left in the dark. Alinsky's entire life focus was to disrupt society as a whole and his favorite target was the middle class. Hillary was considered the perfect ideal of a 'Radical'.

I read accounts that Hillary's father wanted to shrink into his seat because she had just insulted Senator Brooke, a black man and I think he was a Republican. She used him as a 'focus of evil', as a whipping boy.

Her picture made Life Magazine.

Yes Senator Brooke was both black and a Republican. She showed him no respect while herself saying nothing of any consequence. I quote her:

"We're not interested in social reconstruction; it's human reconstruction."

Say What Ms. Rodham?
And the difference between "social" and "human" reconstruction is?
What a bunch of angry word garbage.
Mr. Brooke was a distinguished person and always very well respected here in Massachusetts.
Obviously from this speech one can sense her self-confidence, her more perfect vantage point which has always been with her.
And her strong self-righteous streak goes back a l-o-n-g way.
