...Clout. Though his report got wide attention, Magaziner felt that Brown was slow in carrying it out. As a result, he staged mass rallies to push his reforms, organized three-student teams to work on every faculty member and turned his gift of gab on the administration. As president of the student body (and class president for all four years), he had the clout to mobilize hundreds of disciples with a single telephone call, which set off a chain of calls across the campus. In May, the university finally approved the new curriculum for a two-year experimental period...
...result was what New York University Law Professor Norman Dorsen calls "a fundamental reorientation of the court's role." The Warren court, says Dorsen, "moved dramatically from deference to the prerogatives of the other two branches of the Federal Government and of the states to aggressive protection of the rights of the individual."

Foreign firms might also challenge the cozy arrangements under which Japanese businesses divide up their home markets. As a result, the Japanese have erected a bewildering maze of restrictive regulations. Foreign-owned firms can make wire but not cable, cameras but not lenses, watches or clocks but not both. Imports of 120 items, including such U.S. specialties as computers and leather goods, are either banned or severely limited...
...Administration has threatened to take unilateral action if it cannot persuade Japan and other trading partners to accept "voluntary" quotas. U.S. action could involve the revoking of textile-tariff concessions that have been granted in the past, or Congress could legislate quotas. Either way, a worldwide trade war might result, provoking retaliation not only by Japan but also by many other nations against a wide range of U.S. goods...
