...action he might now take would seem to be merely a surrender to the council. Throughout the trying week. Rainier kept stonily silent in his pink palace. After all, Monaco was still Monaco, and royalty had other duties to perform. For one thing, there was the gala $23-a-plate dinner and world film premiere of Kings Go Forth for the benefit of the Monegasque Red Cross. Everyone from Gina Lollobrigida to Frank Sinatra.

But having pointed his bat at the bleachers, Galbraith steps away from the plate. He never takes a full swing at drafting the program that he implies: that the state, local and federal governments must take a larger role in society. What Galbraith suggests concretely is much more conservative. He believes that the economy can absorb up to 4,000,000 unemployed, proposes a sliding scale for unemployment compensation...
