...these last years, far more again than liberals have conceded, the Administration has moved to break with the stereotypes of an outworn foreign policy. President Johnson and the more liberal of his advisers have moved courageously to eliminate the notion of a permanent division in Europe. They have ditched the kind of stereotyped military planning that produced the MLF--not all products of Harvard evoke liberal applause or even make sense. The President has improved the language of our discussion with the Soviet Union--a matter on which he has gone far beyond his predecessors. He seems...
Such critics reflect a tendency to categorize Martin as a diehard, unswerving conservative-but Martin's record belies the notion. He is, rather, a monetary pragmatist who makes, and changes, policy according to what he sees as current requirements. A lifelong Democrat, Martin was a successful Wall Street broker and a familiar figure in Manhattan nightspots in the '30s. When he was named chairman of the New York Stock Exchange in 1938, President Roosevelt told him: "Your job is the worst in the world-next to mine."

That is not the way things were supposed to be, and Lottman is painfully aware of it, but without the money to pay competitive wages, he feels powerless to do much. At any rate, SNCC workers have from time to time lashed out at the notion of a white-dominated newspaper for Negroes. As one SNCC staffer put it, "Man, it's just one more white man tryin' to tell me what to think." SNCC seriously discussed at one point organizing a boycott of the Courier. The idea apparently was forgotten by the time of last year's elections, when...
