Unfortunately, the interview consists of very little of what I consider sensitive. His prematurely white hair and light blue eyes make him look like the quintessential business executive, but he has very little to say about his involvement in national politics. He plays down his contact with elected officials: "When we (Union Carbide) get involved with issues, they're issues we have to get involved with anyway...
...maverick among economists. Disdained by the economics establishment, Galbraith often purports to be the sole purveyor of truth and reason. Whether he is or not, Galbraith makes academics and politicians on all sides squirm nervously whenever he comes out with a new theory. He attacks mercilessly--some would say thoughtlessly--but his work is some of the freshest and most pleasingly controversial of any academic.

Granted, Bok is a smoother man than Pusey--as the Corporation and Overseers realized when they named him, he is the sort to rely on calm words, rather than police violence, to settle confrontations--but he has shown...
