...country owes it to you. I owe it to you." No firm decision was made, and there the matter rested for a time. Although Woods had made himself available for an extension of service of up to one year, Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler in September told his fellow World Bank governors that the U.S.-which has always supplied the bank's president-would nominate a new one in October. When Fowler suggested that he give the bank a choice, including McNamara, Douglas Dillon and David Rockefeller, the President replied that his first, second and third nominees were all named...
What has already happened, of course, is that two big American cities have elected Negro mayors while a third rejected racism as an overriding issue. Both Negro candidates received vigorous support and vital votes from white liberals even though both owe their victories primarily to a unified Negro vote. After three summers of violence in the cities, this in itself is a reassuring portent.

...sure way to turn stockbrokers into reticent men is to broach the sensitive subject of their profits. Securities dealers owe much of their livelihood to investor confidence built up by public disclosure of corporate earnings. Yet the overwhelming majority of them consider their own net incomes to be nobody else's business. This double standard is well entrenched, wholly legal and-at least from a broker's view point-eminently logical. After all, partly by resisting demands for more such data, Wall Street has so far fended off the Securities and Exchange Commission's four-year...
