...breezy description of the development of Palm Beach Florida--a quiet retreat which, Cooke sadly notes, was created by and for "the fastidiousness of the very rich" not by the act of the legislature, as would befit the U.S.'s democratic pretensions. This is only a prelude to the core of the talk, where Cooke sketches, in only two pages, the strange combination of pomp and efficiency surrounding any United States President, but particularly John F. Kennedy--"the grandson of the Irish saloonkeeper and ward heeler"--who now has an aura far surpassing that of "ordinary" residents of Palm Beach...
...other sub-classes play secondary roles as mere agents. This means that professional people such as doctors or teachers are irrelevant while those who are lawyers or consultants are servants who live off the core of the system but cannot determine it. Also, someone like an entertainer could be very rich but he would not be one of the Rich because he does not take part in the production of goods and hence has no bearing on the decisions that are made in that sector. Equally, middle income people such as clerical staff are not in a position to participate...
...court agreed with Shalit, it would in fact rule that culture rather than religion is at the core of Israel's Jewishness.

The Alliance was called together by President Johnson early this year for the express purpose of finding 100,000 jobs for the hard-core unemployed by the end of June 1969, and 400,000 more by 1971, as well as summer jobs for youth. Under the titular leadership of Henry Ford II and the hard-driving personal direction of a Ford vice president...
...newspaper survive when its two publishers are in basic disagreement? That is the question facing the Manhattan Tribune, a weekly tabloid just started in New York. William Haddad, a member of the New York City School Board, and Roy Innis, National Director of CORE, are not only of different color-Haddad is white, Innis black-but also hold rival views on integration. Haddad is for it, Innis against. Still, the editors believe that by airing disagreements in print they can help start a dialogue between increasingly embittered white and black communities...
