Since then, no one has doubted that Regan speaks with authority. Last week he was introduced at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce lunch as "the most effective spokesman for this Administration." Naturally, there were good reasons for the Secretary's warm reception before that bastion of capitalist influence.

In his new autobiographical Ways of Escape, Graham Greene writes: "I had an idea before I went to Malaya, an idea picked up from an unsympathetic press, of a group of men, the harsh overseers of great capitalist enterprises, intransigent, unconstructive exploiters of native labor, drinking stengah after stengah in the local club, probably in the Somerset Maugham manner making love to each other's wives.
