Whittington obviously revels in the team concept. "The team aspect of it is definitely the major part of it. I'm not an individual player, I'm not a star. I like everyone pulling along together, trying to make it work...
...CYNICAL here might take comfort in the knowledge that both Segal and Brewster were educated at Harvard, and that most of Reich's analysis is really Galbraith without the economics (a concept, admittedly, somemight find as ludicrous as Galbraith without the modesty). They can snort to each other--and rightly so--that each Brewster speech, each Segal movie, each Reich pronouncement, each flattering Israel Shenker Times profile is a triumph of style over content, content still residing somewhere north of the Charles.

That was the thinking behind Congress's directing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1972 to order stronger bumpers on U.S. cars. Now the NHTSA wonders whether its standards are too costly to manufacturers and car owners and is mulling whether to roll them back. This has set consumer and insurance groups to howling while Detroit is cheering...
