There seems little reason to expect that such an indirect governmental commitment can begin to solve the problems of unemployment. Eighty thousand new jobs must be created each week for workers displaced by machines plus others entering the labor force. The United States must foster "a new DuPont every week," as Walter Reuther put it, just to hold the employment rate steady...
Several weapons are available to any President-suppression, concealment, distortion, false weighing of facts-and Krock says that Kennedy has employed them all. But it is in the field of indirect management of news that the President has moved "with subtlety and imagination for which there is no historic parallel known to me."

That might be Goldman's opinion; but if Miss Shrader is to be believed Israel has consistently been associated with neo-colonialism by African politicians. Even if the charge is largely for propaganda purposes it must be reckoned with, as Americans must recognize...
