...process of decision-making in the SDS; it is difficult to believe that the opinions of its members were considered at all before the Rhodesian summons was issued. Such irresponsible behavior can only confirm the estimate of the SDS held by its critics. The position on Rhodesia is in sharpest contrast to the impressively knowledgeable campaign of protest and persuasion being waged over the war in Vietnam. Those of us who might join the SDS if only to disprove the hypothesis that the smallness of its membership implies a lack of support for its Vietnam policy must reconsider the wisdom...
...Scotch. What foreign goods do Americans hanker for? U.S. companies, of course, have their own special needs; the fastest-rising major import so far this year is steel, which has risen 68% to $864 million. But consumer goods account for a full 40% of imports, include some of the sharpest gainers.

Auto salesmen have long known that the best way to hook a customer is to open the door of a new car and let him smell it (some companies already produce aerosol bombs that give secondhand cars that new-car atmosphere). The sharpest prod to coffee sales is the smell of freshly ground beans. A hotel has ordered spray cans full of roast-beef aroma to step up banquet-hall trade; an artificial-flower company is spraying its false blooms with essence of the natural thing. Now, sniff this page. Catch that scent of fine...
