...building blocks of the course is Dorfman's explanation of price theory. Because many of us spend so much time trying to unravel its intricacies, its political biases and implications tend to slip in through the back door. It is possible to go into a detailed critique of the assumptions and analysis of so-called welfare economics (the name for the model presented in Dorfman), and reading along this line is discussed in the bibliography. For present purposes, we will restrict ourselves to four political-philosophical assumptions which, although unmentioned by Dorfman, becloud the claims of his system...

Until now, the successor governments to Diem in Saigon have done little about it. It is clear from the Communists' frantic response that they consider the local elections a major threat.

Woolsey's celebrated decision: "Whilst in many places the effect is emetic, nowhere does it tend to be an aphrodisiac." The judgment has become the consensus. Though the script omits none of the common obscenities and few of the scabrous episodes that made the book notorious, it had no trouble getting through customs and ran into very little civic opposition. Only 65 theater owners agreed to exhibit it, however...
