...capital terms, much of Europe is an underdeveloped area. The Continent lacks many of the broad-based financial institutions that, in the U.S., have transformed "people's capitalism" from a flag-waving slogan into a reality that works. The bourses exist in an aroma of gossip, cater primarily to a thin group of the elite. In France, most brokers do not even advertise-and the first one who does so aggressively may get on to quite a good thing.

...Evelyn Lincoln's latest memoirs [Feb. 23]. I am ashamed that President Johnson must suffer another unwarranted assault at the hands of those who avow devotion to Kennedy; it seems nothing less than a betrayal of a man who would never have hit another publicly with "locker room" gossip.
