...What do we have in this modern-day society besides each other? If we have peace and harmony with our fellow man about us, we have everything we need to live a well-ordered life. If we will §o out of our way to accept our fellow man as he is and for what goodness he may have, we will have come a long way in making this country the safe, secure place it should be. I think President Nixon in his inaugural address was at times pushing the necessity of mankind's working together and accepting...
...suggest that Mr. Nixon is, above all, tough-minded. The nation has never been more ready for such a quality of mind.

The chairman can widen his awareness of consumer problems--he need not address business groups uncountably more times than he addresses consumer groups. He could send investigative groups to ghetto areas, and establish storefront offices. This must be done by a new chairman, but it is questionable if any but an exceptionable appointee will resist the wooing influence of business...
