Though the editors show a deft touch with short text blocks, few readers are going to be able to skim the three longish articles offered: a 5,400-word account by Syndicated Columnist Robert Novak of his November interview with China's Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-p'ing, as well as the two cover stories on Rockefeller and Hearst...

This crowd is clearly trying to swim against a very strong human current. Moreover, they are out of touch with the problems of both leadership and the human dilemma. The problem has never been to get people to think about doing something. The difficulty has always been to get them to act.
