...have never been exactly what you would call an admirer of France's Charles de Gaulle, but now that I learn the poor man is so out of step with the 20th century as to think that the way to solve his country's financial difficulties is to reduce expenditures below income, I must really despair of his ever restoring his beloved country to its former glory. Hasn't the dummy ever even heard of refinancing...
...choice of Bryce Harlow as chief congressional liaison man was one shrewd step. A former congressional staff member, White House aide in the Eisenhower Administration and lobbyist for Procter & Gamble, Harlow is widely known and respected by legislators of both parties.

...RACES. The nation's racial problems "are now hampering its clear vision in dealing with the rest of the world," contended Writer Harold Cruse (The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual).

The methods are brutal and indiscriminate, random terrorism for terrorism's sake without any military value -a bomb...
...however, is still only a tiny first step. It is becoming more apparent that the world needs an international analog to the Federal Reserve System--and hang the political problem of selecting the men who will adminster it. But that sort of fundamental change will come about only after a crisis comparable to the international collapse of the '30's. God only knows (and, given the habits of European bankers, He's probably left guessing, too) how many more monetary crises like this one must come and go, and which currencies will be hit, before that happens...
