This was Bernie's (1978)

[Costas]

Bernard Sanders, erstwhile leader of the Libert Union. Vermont's much-weakened third party:

In 1978, as in other years, I hope to be able to play some role in making working people aware that the present day reality of poverty, wage slavery and mind-destroying media and schools - is not the only reality - but simply a pathetic presentation brought to us by a handful of power-hungry individuals who own and control our economy
