...Reischauer claims that the blame for our misguided foreign policy cannot be ascribed solely to the oft-maligned State Department. The American system has deprived the Department both of authority and of "talent and funds needed to do the job properly." The real menace to an intelligent far-seeing American Asian policy is the staggering pressure on governmental shoulders of having to solve daily crises. "The men at the top must jump from crisis to crisis, thus staying behind our problems rather than ahead of them.... Sometimes the possible alternatives to the response (to a specific problem) chosen...
Technology heavily burdens the two-adult-or what anthropologists call the "nuclear"-family. Modern society demands what Yale Psychologist Kenneth Keniston calls "technological ego dictatorship," a talent for divided living that requires coolly rational behavior at work, reserving feeling for home.

Complete service to clients - in principle, even to competing clients - could be rendered within the group's enterprises, with platoons of talent shifted around to cater to specific needs. It was a grand plan, but it went sour. In recent weeks Interpublic has undergone a major overhaul. More than 500 of some 8,000 employees have been dismissed. Harper, at 51, has been eased up to the chairmanship, and active command...
...using them properly. Rather than trying to compete with the commercial networks, General Manager Day concentrates on "the events that don't always make headlines or are reported with a two-minute film clip sandwiched into a news show." This programming strategy is sufficient proof that ingenuity and talent can make a swinging chick out of that little old lady, Public...
