...fund-raising pros, must nail down the donors. Operating on the rough rule that 90% of most drive proceeds will come from 10% of the donors, schools work on their wealthiest friends first. Early announcements of big gifts often entice other affluent donors to follow suit, although the approach has its hazards. One Midwestern multimillionaire kept complaining when a college stalled its announcement of his $100,000 gift; school officers could not tell him that they had expected $10 million and feared his example would induce every potential $100,000 donor to scale down his own gift...
...scramble for position. There are indications, however, that even the hoary ICC is changing. Last month Commissioner William H. Tucker, 43, a onetime paratrooper who is not afraid to jump into railroad battles, moved into the chairman's job. Tucker has long argued against the case-by-case approach.

This is in striking contrast to the enforcement of anti-trust or food-and-drug laws, or the regulation of industries affecting the public interest. For some decades, anti-trust problems have received the sustained professional attention of economists concerned with the structure of markets, the organization of business enterprise, and the incentives toward collusion or price-cutting. Racketeering and the provision of illegal goods (like gambling) have been conspicuously neglected...
...international field one can cold-bloodedly limit warfare and come to understandings about the kinds of violence that will be resisted or punished and the activities that will be considered non-aggressive, or domestic, or within the other side's sphere of influence. Maybe the same approach is necessary in dealing with crime itself. And if we cannot acknowledge it at the legislative level, it may have to be accomplished in an unauthorized or unacknowledged way by the people whose business requires it of them...
