Sometimes Cohen has to wait a long time. Medicare, which he suggested in 1935, was not enacted until 30 years later. But social advances in the U.S., Cohen believes, follow cycles, and can only be hastened slowly. The early part of the New Deal, he notes, marked a high point in modern social history, followed by a plateau until 1946. Modest advances were made in the Truman and Eisenhower years, and a big spurt took place in the first two years of the Johnson presidency. Now the curve is descending somewhat again. He foresees another spurt ahead, but fears that...
Cohen was John Gardner's choice to replace him as Secretary; but while they would probably agree on goals, the two men have markedly different ideas on how to achieve them. Gardner was convinced that the nation could not wait for the next upward cycle and resigned in disenchantment when he felt the President did not share his sense of urgency about the plight of the cities.

Brandt also differed with the Christian Democrats on the subject of the nuclear nonproliferation pact, asking for a quick and enthusiastic West German endorsement of the treaty. And, for good measure, he attacked the wait-and-see policy of the Christian Democrats toward the rightist National Democrats. Demanding an immediate constitutional ban on the fast-growing extremist party, Brandt cried: "Neo-Nazism is treason to this country...
...winter, at their monastery near St. Louis, the Roman Catholic Redemptorist Fathers put into operation an electronic data-processing service de signed to provide "a 71-facet view of each practicing Catholic." Pastors who want to make use of the service must distribute a questionnaire to their faithful, then wait for the Redemptorists to feed the answers into an IBM System 360 computer. The 180-page printout that the machine delivers gives the pastor a cybernetic summary of his parishioners' religious attitudes...
