...fund Socialism" was the term Swedish Economist Erik Lundberg employed to describe the process. In Britain, the Labor Party's left wing continues to demand the nationalization of shipbuilding, aircraft production and banking-in disregard of the fact that most of Britain's already nationalized industries are chronic money losers whose inefficiencies are a major cause of the country's dismal economic plight. In West Germany, the unions still support the profit motive but are demanding a more decisive voice in how earnings are allocated between workers and shareholders...
...Chronic Nuisance. Purolator had not been exactly thorough in checking his credentials. In 1964, at the age of 18, Raymond was convicted of armed robbery. Paroled early, he was arrested again and returned to prison to finish his sentence. He appealed to Labor M.P. Tom Driberg (now Lord Driberg), who had a long record of espousing libertarian causes.

Many of these views are clearly Agnew's own, and a disproportionate number demonstrate that the former Vice President bears a chronic grudge against the press. Although The Canfield Decision is not a roman à clef, a nosy columnist named "Andy Jackerson" gets a going over. A Russian, for example, sees America in decline because "the country is under attack by professional critics with an unlimited supply of ink and microphones." Such...
