Much of Nixon's tough new trade policy bears the imprint of Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans, who calls it the first "fullscale attack" against "covert forms of protectionism which discriminate against American exports." In a talk last week to the National Foreign Trade Convention in Manhattan, Stans also promised U.S. exporters additional measures of practical aid. One would add some $750 million to the Export-Import Bank's funds. Exporters can now borrow only limited amounts at the bank's 6% interest rate, and must finance the rest of their sales with private loans...
...strain of the covert life shows clearly in brittle homosexual humor, which swings between a defensive mockery of the outside world and a self-hating scorn for the gay one. Recent research projects at the Indiana sex research institute and elsewhere have sought out homosexuals who are not troubled enough to come to psychiatrists and social workers and have found them no worse adjusted than many heterosexuals.

...thrusts himself into the everyday life of the community is soon treated as a nuisance; the blindness worker who pursues too seriously the goal of reintegration soon wears out his welcome. There is an unacknowledged desire on the part of the public to avoid contact with blind persons, a covert yet stubborn resistance to any genuine movement of blind people from the agency back into the mainstream of community life." Although such public distaste is deep, Scott says, the agencies have made few educational efforts to change it. He also contends that the agencies tend to restrict their services...
