...unite in strength, while the "good guys" never can? One of the reasons is our fanatical loyalty to the concept of states' rights, in which both groups associated with law-lawmakers (politicians) and law-enforcement agencies -are willing to pay any price to preserve their precious autonomies. The result is divisiveness and weakness in every area, from the shameful unevennesses in the quality of our various school systems to the failure of law-enforcement agencies to unite effectively.

Last year, the National Association of Securities Dealers has registered at least 15,000 life-insurance salesmen, about 7% of the total number...
...stronger impetus toward new ventures has come from the insurers' feeling that their loans were helping other businessmen to grow wealthy while the insurance companies took most of the risk. As a result, insurers are no longer content merely to lend money for the construction of apartments, shopping centers and other structures, and collect a fixed-interest return.
