...sort of show that would have pleased the critics and Congressmen would have made no dent on the "out-of-school, out-of-work, out-of-luck kids" that the poverty program was all about. "You can't play a sonata or a fugue and hope to reach kids when a majority of them can't even read or add properly. How many critics and politicians bothered to check with our special audience to find their reaction?" Murray had a rebuttal, too, for those who complained that his low-pressure, nonspecific word pitch said little more than that...

There is a point when a deep and lengthy market drop can induce businessmen and consumers to save instead of spend, thus precipitating a recession. Washington's economic policymakers do not believe that matters have yet reached that danger point, and, if talk can do the job, they do not intend to let them reach...

The U.S. is drinking twice as much beer per capita as it did immediately after Prohibition-production this year will reach a record 102 million barrels-but only a quarter as many breweries are making it. In 1934 there were 752; today only 190 breweries are in business, and many of them have a future about as flat as stale beer. The ten biggest brewers account for 55% of sales, and another 30% belongs to such strong and modern regional brewers as National of Baltimore, Pearl of San Antonio, Schmidt...
