...Alliance for Progress, so far it has been more a slogan than a policy. The nations and governments of Latin America are vastly disparate, yet many still seem all too ready to consider the Alianza an excuse to sit back and let the U.S. foot the bill for their own shortcomings. In fact, in those Latin American nations where U.S. policy has been successful, it has been due as much to capable on-the-scene ambassadors as to the Washington-directed programs and policymakers...

His intent, he said, was not "to embarrass our city, but to call Atlanta back to something noble and plead with her to rise from dark yesterdays of racial injustice to bright tomorrows of justice for all.

Automation often creates new jobs-but it is eliminating old jobs even faster (at a rate of 200,000 a month, says the Labor Department). Statisticians gloomily assert that every rise of 3% in productivity means that 1,800,000 new jobs must be found for workers who are displaced. Administration economists are still committed to the belief that the best way to lessen unemployment is by stimulating production and consumer buying through...
