...both at home and abroad. This is a simplistic and unfair impression. Considering the size of the agency (an estimated 20,000 employees operating on a budget that may be as big as $6 billion a year) and the enormous volume of activities it has been called upon to perform in its 27-year history, the provable instances of malfeasance are comparatively few.

Up popped three red balls in Ryan's hand to symbolize the company's "quality, dependability and service." To conclude his act, Ryan pulled...
...between inflation and high employment. No such choice is necessary, says Galbraith, with an obvious eye on the 1976 U.S. elections: Government could stimulate the economy as much as might be necessary, without causing inflation, if only the public knew enough about the wonders that wage-price controls can perform to elect an Administration that would dare to impose them...
