...America was the first nation to proclaim officially that rulers may govern only with the people's consent. In Britain, Denmark, Italy and West Germany, more than 75% of all eligible voters consistently turn out for national elections. In this century, U.S. voter participation has gone from a low of 44.2% in 1920 to a high of only...
...ghettos. The city has had no major racial upheaval since 1964. Yet many white New Yorkers feel neglected as a result.

This prompted Negro Leader James Farmer to observe: "I don't think we ought...

The president's office in Manhattan's RCA building is adorned with abstract sculptures by Giacometti and De Rivera, and its occupant takes particular pride in the company's futuristic new logo, which is emblazoned in 24-ft.-high letters near the top of the 70-floor building. Yet Sarnoff seems to be playing the merger game, a favorite pastime of new-breed executives, with an eye more for posterity than for the present. He dismisses St. Regis' problems as the result...
