...fill columns of type with solemn economic logic to explain short-term market moves that may reflect neither economics nor logic. Too often, day-to-day stock gyrations obscure a basic fact: markets are made and moved over the long haul, not by vague forces but by the conscious decisions of men. The important question is not what makes stocks move...
What makes this novel interesting is that Co-Author Brown is a geochemist and one of the nation's most articulate and socially conscious scientists. Brown and his collaborator, Chloe Zerwick, a freelance writer, nearly obscure their message in a fog of literary and character clichés (notably missing from Brown's nonfiction writing).

PHILLIPS Brooks House Association, despite its enormous size and diversity of programs, has undergone a conscious change in goals during the last five years, largely under the direction of its chief officers and several dynamic committee chairmen. What was once a social center for Victorian do-gooders has sharpened its aims to include specific educational and socio-economic programs at a neighborhood or institutional level.

Pearson's Liberals tried in the 1963 campaign to present the voters a Kennedy image of vigor and purposefulness. Lacking the youthfulness of the Kennedy appeal (Pearson was nearly 65), they relied heavily on ridicule and a self-conscious sense of mission. Among Pearson's campaign gambits was the "Sixty Days of Decision," a promise that a Liberal victory would precipitate two-months of resolute, clear-headed and exciting government to set things right after six years of Conservative misrule...
