This week's House Democratic caucus would doubtless approach the Powell problem with the utmost diffidence, even though the pressure was on to corral him. Sensing that this was the case, Powell issued a statement condemning efforts to dump him from his committee chairmanship as part of a "conspiracy of enormous dimensions." His critics, he said, "are trying to politically castrate one of America's most powerful Negro politicians." If they persist, Powell hinted, he would blow the whistle on other congressional sinners. And, though many if not most Negro leaders privately hold Powell in contempt, they were...
...makes the reader pick over acres of some vast garbage dump; yet he leaves him with the belief that the mutilated body of someone of great value lies buried in the stinking trash. In English, there has been no one like him since Swift, and in French, there has been no one like him at all. Mad doctors both-in their different ways.

...funds do close to 7% of all the trading on the New York Stock Exchange, are the most active institutional investors, and their power is growing. In times of tough markets, small investors habitually dump their own shares and shift into funds, figuring that the professional money managers know best. This year investors have bought a net of $2.4 billion in fund shares, but the fund managers have put relatively little of this new money into the stock market. They turned bearish late last year, pared their purchasing in the first half of 1966, and in the third quarter actually...
