...Regal Candor. Fortunately for Hassan, neither of the nation's two major leftist opposition groups has yet taken overt advantage of the riots. The Union Marocaine du Travail, Morocco's socialist, urban-intellectual labor union, staged an 18-hour sympathy strike for the rioters. But discipline was poor-largely because the U.M.T. did not know what the riots were all about.

Nobody expects the success of this economic order to work worldwide wonders overnight. But in 1965 a considerable number of people will be watching the average U.S. consumer-the Macy's customer-for clues that will not only reveal the future course of the U.S. economy but may also have significance for the course of world...
