...intransigent Syrians and Egyptians, Hussein did not accuse the U.S. of tak ing part in the scrap. Instead of looking for scapegoats, he admitted that the Arabs had lost all by themselves. "It is apparent that we have not yet learned well enough how to use the weapons of modern warfare," he said. "But we will if we have...

Shareholders cannot even pretend to power because ownership of stock has become so diffuse. Big capitalists and bankers have lost influence because the typical corporation generates its own funds and does not need to borrow so much. The corporation has also become so bafflingly complex that even the chief executive is often little more than a symbol, a cheerleader and a rubber stamp for decisions that...
