Close & Candid. So far, Goldberg has had few failures-and his successes have made him one of the most respected members of the New Frontier. Some management men distrust him because of his background as counsel for the A.F.L.C.I.O. and as a driving force behind nearly every major union gain in the past twelve years.

Speaking to a group of business leaders in Chicago last month, he said: "There exists in this nation today a state of mind, a state of fear, which advocates fighting our great threat by spreading distrust, by setting man against man, by abandoning our ancient foundation of freedom, the presumption of innocence, and by substituting in its place the wild assertion, 'fighting fire with fire' . . . There is another way to fght. too. The church proposes to fight our great enemy by pursuing her ancient course...
