...blameless. How can we uphold the holy principle of non-interference after Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs, the Dominican Republic, Iran, Chile? CIA-sponsored coups may be more subtle, but they have the same effect as actual invasions...

But the cumulative forecasts of politicians, sociologists, philosophers, scientists and journalists, including some of those that found their way into this magazine, fell dismally short of even hinting at the actual shape and tone of the society that took form in the '70s. Such was the record that Education Professor Ronald L. Hunt, who designed the nation's first graduate program in futurism at California's San Jose State University, says that the 1980s ought to open...
