These strategies reflect two basic dicta of U. S. foreign policy, anti-communism and support for the expansion of capitalist relations. The recommendations of the paper are built upon them. Huntington proposes that the U. S. concentrate on the structure of the political institutions and electoral mechanisms that will be developed: "The U. S. can play a major role in shaping rules of the game through its negotiations with Hanoi and the NLF and through advice...
...some extent, Unruh has always been a victim of caricature. He is remembered for two harsh dicta from his assembly days: "Money is the mother's milk of politics," and, speaking of lobbyists: "If you can't take their money, drink their booze, screw their women and look them in the eye and vote against them, you don't belong here."

He allowed his editors wide latitude in day-to-day operations, engaged in debate rather than ex-cathedra dicta to implement his ideas, delighted in writing long letters to the editor under the pen name A. Aitchess. By 1961, the Times's daily circulation had risen 48%, to 680,265, and its Sunday circulation had nearly doubled, to 1,306,418. Sulzberger was nearing 70, and he felt...
