...city's failure to hold on to the auto industry or attract replacements, many Detroit businessmen blame United Auto Workers President Walter Reuther and his close ally, Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams. Reuther, the arguments run, discourages industry by pushing labor costs higher and higher, and Democrat Williams discourages it by committing himself to Big Labor and the ever higher taxes of the welfare state. Says outspoken Harvey Campbell, vice president of the powerful Detroit Board of Commerce: "Businessmen won't talk about it in public. They are afraid of reprisal. They stand behind me and cheer...

...right to rule on Russian soil. The Russian people were famine-ridden and war-weary. Lenin himself relied on endless improvisation. If this was one of history's great lost opportunities, the chief culprit was Wood-row Wilson. Democrat Kennan admits: "[Wilson] drew onto himself, ultimately, the blame for the failure of the entire venture (on the ground that the United States' contribution had been too little and too late...
