...they each crisscrossed Ohio, their paths never intersecting. Eleanor visited a nursing home, cut the ribbon for a new campaign headquarters, spoke with young campaign workers and gave rousing talks to win over party stalwarts. The towns rolled by-Ashtabula, Painesville, Warren-and at each stop she made short, cogent speeches of her own devising and in her thoroughly professional style. She stands cool and poised before crowds and speaks in smooth sentences, with none of the fumbling "and-uhs" of an amateur.

Secondly, even under the most favorable circumstances, exports plus private capital inflow cannot be expected to pay for even a minimum feasible level of imports for a good many years. This...
...book contains only one reference to Galbraith by name, but it is a pregnant one. After the "prominent Harvard economist and wit" has made a cogent point to President Kennedy "in his amusingly ironic way" and then apologized for a gloomy prediction, Kennedy replies: "John, you can't scold us often enough, and as far as I'm concerned, you are both an Aristotle and a Jeremiah, a polymath and a prophet...
