...timber and Prague ham, are in short supply. Another reason for the export decline is the increasing shoddiness of Czechoslovak goods. A survey of fac tory managers showed that two-thirds of them give priority to the home market because, the report said, "the people are not selective." The men in charge of the economy vigorously protest the refusal of the U.S. to grant Czechoslovakia most-favored-nation tariff treatment. By stimulating sales to the U.S., such a step could give the Czechoslovaks a psychological as well as an economic lift...
Gradual Freeze. Bound by Communist orthodoxy, the country's new rulers have ordered a return to highly centralized planning, and they have threatened loafing workers with "ideological training"-a euphemism for force. The government has brought in Yugoslav construction crews, Polish textile workers and Hungarian railroad men, and called on Czech workers to work "voluntary" weekend shifts to commemorate Lenin's 100th birthday next year.

...fact that the Menominee fiasco was brought about with the approval of liberal, high-minded and progressive men, among them Senator Frank Church of Idaho, is indicative of a historic conflict between the highest white American ideals and the requirements for Indian cultural survival. For nearly a century, the American dream has been a composite society in which arriving immigrants, eager to be assimilated, dropped their old folkways in favor of the means provided by their adopted countrymen. Until just lately, American rhetoric glorified the melting pot-and assumed that it was working. Then blacks, who could not really...
