...this seems peculiar at a time when the U.S. teems with putative intellectuals-in hospitals, foundations, think tanks, the government, "knowledge industry" corporations. A company of RCA's scope is now involved not only in manufacturing but also in producing novels and doing research in linear algebra.

Congress also needs to redefine and limit the scope of investments eligible for capital gains. They now include not only securities and real estate, but ordinary dealing in timber and cattle breeding as well. Oil and other depletion allowances, which by Treasury estimates deprive the Government of $1.3 billion in revenue, have become the towering symbol of privilege and preference. They...
