It provides an undistinguished conclusion to a distinguished career...
...less adventuresome and more conservative than his economists. He was determined to balance the budget and mighty reluctant to try the deficit-spending theories of the late John Maynard Keynes. It took Heller and his activist aides almost two years and 300 memos to convince Kennedy of the Keynesian notion that both economic growth and Government income would be increased...
