...business backlash stings Japan in many ways. The U.S. is negotiating tighter quotas on Japanese steel and has just agreed on a quota for stainless-steel flatware. Many businessmen want the Government to go much further. Last year protectionists raced through the House a bill authorizing quotas on any foreign product that won as much as 15% of a U.S. market. The chief target: Japan. The bill died in a Senate adjournment rush, but the import debate has resurfaced this year in a way that could poison U.S.-Japanese political relations...

Many popular conceptions have mistaken the pluralism of poverty- the poor are the elderly and disabled citizens, more often farmers than Boston teenagers, and some are working poor who support themselves on low and undependable earnings. To help any one category of the poor requires several agencies and Beer wisely suggests that the state divide poverty programs into areas, considering the different mixes of the poor in each.
