Speaking softly but intensely, Rustin told a group of reporters that coalition of trade unions, religious groups, and students can be the spur to the faltering steps of the war on poverty.

...also does not get long with trade unions as well as it says it does. Peter Howard, one of the two great MRA prophets, wrote: "We stand strongly in favor of trade unionism ... I rejoice at the prosperity of the American unions. I thank God for the conditions you have achieved. I know the struggle you have had." MRA claims to have actively participated in those struggles.

"There is no God . . . There is a hell . . ." The adolescents cower and try to find each other. Balsam pines and wavers...
Heath said that the West should carry on "the greatest possible trade in nonstrategic goods" with Communist countries, including China. He said that this was the best possible way of stimulating the appetites of the citizens of these countries and leading them to impatience with a regime that denies choice to the consumer. Economic sanctions do not usually destroy revolutionary governments, Heath explained, but only make them more hostile...
