...investment depends not on tax rates but on the vigor of the economy. That contention illustrates a profound difference in philosophy: broadly speaking, Nixonians view investment as the most important force powering economic growth, while McGovernites give priority to consumer spending. McGovern himself has quoted John Kennedy's remark that "a rising tide lifts all the boats." But Treasury Secretary Shultz had a ready reply: "We must be careful we don't drill holes in the boats...
...Brezhnev's point: the U.S. and the Soviets should not strike a trade bargain merely for the sake of making a deal, but should try large-scale ventures that would yield solid profit to both. Later, the usually matter-of-fact Peterson quoted a rather lyrical Alexander Hamilton remark that "the spirit of commerce has a tendency to soften the manners of men and to extinguish those inflammable humors which have so often kindled wars...

One glimmer of movement was a remark by Xuan Thuy. He suggested that while the Communists still wanted to oust Thieu, the shape of Saigon's political future might be left-as the U.S. has proposed-to later negotiations between the two Viet Nams. Then, at week's end, Le Due Tho, a North Vietnamese...
