...Anti-Semitism in the corporate business world is probably less prevalent than your essay indicates. Many Jews who fail to climb the executive ladder are quick to use anti-Semitism as a cloak to hide their own weaknesses. These people, by helping to keep the fear of anti-Semitism alive among Jews, do more harm to Judaism than George Lincoln Rockwell and the whole American Nazi Party...
...they owe as by what they own. The federal budget shows a deficit of $3.8 billion for fiscal 1965, and Congress has just raised the debt ceiling from $324 to $328 billion. Personal debt, rising faster than the Government's, is above $264 billion; this year it will climb another $26 billion, or more than the combined gross national products of Ireland, Israel, Norway and Belgium.

When Kong Le moved in last year, after being pushed off the Plain of Jars by the Pathet Lao, Vang Vieng was a jumble of wrecked trucks, shattered huts and rusty barbed wire. Now tidy, white-washed barracks climb the hills around Vang Vieng's 4,500-ft. airstrip (recently resurfaced by U.S. aid), and a small sawmill snarls busily, cutting planks for a new school, shops and houses for 2,000 Meo refugees who fled when their villages were occupied by the Pathet...
