Nevertheless, many low-quality and hazardous goods find their way into the marketplace; too much is overpriced, and too little works right. Consumer protest groups, often led by women, have been organized in many states. Longtime consumer activists profess amazement that the public has waited so long to fight back. Until lately, amateur, part-time buyers have felt unequal to challenging professional, full-time sellers. Says Peter Drucker, author of The Age of Discontinuity: "We have been a very patient people by and large. Now people are fed up, and 1 do not blame them...
Imperious Ways. Most A.C.C.C. members still profess a fundamentalism that might best be characterized as responsible extremism. But many who agree with Mclntire theologically have become increasingly edgy about his political pronouncements, especially his support of civil rights opponents like Georgia Governor Lester Maddox. Nor do Mclntire's internal political methods endear him to colleagues. A.C.C.C. General Secretary John Millheim notes that his motto seems to be "Let us reason together and do it my way." As for the I.C.C.C., Mclntire's political attitudes and imperious ways have proved so embarrassing to missions that an estimated...
Paul McCracken, chief of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, expects many strikes ahead, but is not too worried about their long-run effect on the economy. Indeed, some Administration policymakers profess a rather Olympian unconcern over the impact of strikes. Partly for that reason, the Administration is determined to stay out of labor disputes.

Briefing newsmen, Shultz predicted much labor unrest ahead, but declared that...
Seeming contradictions abound in the American mood. Four-fifths of the nation profess to be "fed up and tired of the war"; yet half do not want to see the U.S. "cut and run" from Southeast Asia, and more than half believe the present pace of troop withdrawals is about right or too fast. Nearly half of the public would favor continued withdrawal even if it meant collapse of the Saigon government, and more than 40% feel that the country will probably go Communist despite U.S. efforts. Yet a majority still hope to preserve a non-Communist regime in Saigon...
They wear blue berets and brandish baseball bats. They profess fear of genocide and want to train their youth for combat. Some have been involved in campus brawls and dustups at political rallies. Last week they ran a $2,790 newspaper ad in New York showing six young men standing before a building with clubs in hand. In an age of Black Panthers, white vigilantes, and apparently millions of armed and angry individuals, there would already seem to be a surfeit of quasi-military partisans. Threat, however, tends to breed counterthreat. Out of the people traditionally identified with the word...
