...being challenged," says Harvard Sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset. "In a certain sense, by having a flag on the car, you're saying that you're not a hippie, you're against campus demonstrations and that you believe in the traditions and values that are under attack." Mark Doran, U.C.L.A. assistant clinical professor of psychiatry, says that "flag waving is a reaction on the part of the good guys who like their children and their wives and get real mad when anybody rocks their barbecue pits...

He broke the color barrier in the American League by hiring Outfielder Larry Doby in 1947, set attendance records (his 1948 season total of 2,620,627 is still an American League mark) and led both the Indians and the White Sox to pennants.

That movement hit its high-water mark two years ago, when the Kennedy Round of world trade negotiations produced the deepest industrial tariff cuts ever made. Since then, protectionism has been staging a global comeback and has involved the U.S. in disputes with many nations. In Europe, a host of new nontariff barriers have partly offset the cuts in duties. Special taxes on imports last year helped West Germany to record a surplus in trade with the U.S. for the first time...
