...postal employees feel they are subsidizing these agencies, looking bad themselves in order to make everybody else look good. And what about postal subsidies to corporations? If everyone paid its fair share, our letter carriers insist, the Post Office, together with its employees, would find its way into the affluent part of America...
...thousands of his peers was not the permissively-reared child's petulant reaction to his first frustrations, as psychologists such as Bruno Bettleheim smugly tell the world. It was the rational exhaustion of every sanctioned approach to winning back the Dream. These were the first casualties of the affluent society's rupture. Their confidence that hard work and good will could stir the national conscience died shortly after Jack Kennedy. They travelled the "proper channels" to dead-ends that became increasingly suggestive of a coherent pattern. They became "un-Americans" because their aspirations for America eluded any "American" political style...
STRIKE, Strike, Strike!!!" That angry chant, booming out at the end of Clifford Odets' play Waiting for Lefty, typified the spirit of radical protest in the depressed 1930s.

One Southern travel agency alone reports that over 500 blacks from its community have already signed up for round-trip tickets to Expo '70. This year Pan American is sponsoring...
...Franchise Holder. Charles E. Johnson, 43, got into the franchised fast-food business through a combination of belated Government aid and militant pressure. The Small Business Administration rejected his first application for a loan to buy a McDonald's hamburger franchise near a Negro area of affluent Shaker Heights, a Cleveland suburb, because officers thought the location he wanted would not produce enough income to repay the loan. They did not realize, says a Cleveland Negro leader, that to blacks "the hamburger stand is breakfast, lunch and dinner-they don't just buy hamburgers as a snack...
