...there is confusion over whether these expectations will be fulfilled quickly. Although Richard Nixon has been silent lately on this issue, the two Cabinet officers who share jurisdiction over school integration-Attorney General John Mitchell and Secretary Robert Finch of Health, Education and Welfare -have made some alarming and ambiguous moves. Their effect is to raise the question: Is the Administration pulling back from the scheduled pace of desegregation? The rhetoric, to be sure, remains pro-civil rights, and in some respects the Administration has been both progressive and innovative. Finch, earlier thought of as the Cabinet liberal...
Except in Russia and East Germany, Westerners may travel freely throughout Communist Europe. If they trouble to stray outside the tourist reservations, they meet with a warmth and welcoming generosity that is unmatched anywhere in the world. In the countryside, peasants offer to share their meal and provide a place to spend the night. This innocent unworldliness, one of the redeeming features of peoples living under Communism, is as yet unspoiled by the worst aspects of Western culture now being imported for the sake of hard currency. As a tourist attraction, it beats striptease and roulette and is surely...
...soaring sales of foreign cars, which captured more than 10% of the total U.S. market last year for the first time since 1959.

...automakers are re-entering the small-car market at a difficult time. G.M. President Edward Cole predicted last week that new car sales in the 1970 model year would remain close to 1969's near-record level of some 9,700,000 units, but Detroit's share of that total has been dwindling. Sales of imported autos in the U.S. will exceed 1,000,000 units in the '69 model year, a 70% increase from 1966, and the trend is still running against domestic producers...
...liberals in government abdicate their power to this extent? Partly out of natural attrition. They had to share power and influence because of the democratic process; some agreement had to be established with the private groups to be affected by federal policies. But beyond that, Lowi says, liberals have been the prisoners of a pluralistic theory that has become almost an article of faith in the U.S.: the belief that out of the clash of special interest groups emerges the common interest. This pluralism has been cast in various disguises. It has been called countervailing power, creative federalism, partnership...
