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. Goldberg readily admits that he has not shed his sympathy for labor. "I'll be honest about it," he says. "It's obvious that any man takes to any job an essential set of attitudes.

...base his arguments not on respectability by association but on hard Christian reasoning. 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' . . .
