Those of us who have faith in social science believe that this "modern" approach may eventually yield a new vision because it uses new technical and philosophical devices for organizing and formulating our insights into human nature. We cannot plausibly contend that a mere increase in the number of observers who can find publishers will expand this vision, unless social science can offer us a form which will give these multiple minor insights a cumulative effect. Without such a form, each insight will be returned to the society from which it sprang, without affecting that society or making possible...
...other Vice President before him. During the second term, Nixon's responsibilities were notably increased. Example: Ike recently gave him the personal assignment of pushing both the Mutual Security and the Reciprocal Trade programs, both vital to the nation's security.

Since 1947, U.S. Steel has tripled its interest to $7.6 million, while Union Carbide has gone from a mere $400,000 annually to $14.4 million...
...shock is delivered by other means than mere relation of information. One of Packard's favorite stylistic devices is to create an Orwellian world by using "in the 1950's" when describing technique. This is similar to the history written...
