...defending Republican Senator Ralph Smith of Illinois against the challenge of Democrat Adlai Stevenson III, Agnew paid a rare Republican tribute to a Democratic machine politician. He noted that Stevenson had called the Chicago police "storm troopers in blue" for their part in the 1968 Democratic Convention riots. "The grave injustice done by that convention was not done to the demonstrators in the streets," Agnew said. "It was done to the good name of the great city of Chicago and its mayor, Richard J.

Detroiters sometimes liken the atmosphere in Ford Motor's executive suite to a Byzantine court. The company now has not one but three presidents: Lee lacocca, Robert Stevenson and Robert Hampson. The rumor mill turns largely on which one seems to be most in the chairman's favor at the moment. Whoever it is certainly does not call Ford "Henry"; no employee dares to. lacocca, a highly aggressive and voluble man, seems to have the lead now. He is one of the few executives who will tell Ford when he thinks the chairman is wrong. Even so, visitors to lacocca...

Fair Slice of the Pie. Rubenstein is assistant director of the Adlai Stevenson Institute and a consultant to the former National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence. He is aware that the U.S. has been a self-changing society. His conclusion is that Americans will continue to suffer violence until those in power can grant to others what they have in the past violently demanded for themselves: a fully fair slice of the pie or an independent share of the territory. The book, moreover, offers a sensible corrective to the myopic and apocalyptic view adopted by many Americans...
