...These Are My Hogs." Mutual funds sing a melodious song: cash in on a growing economy and build a valuable hedge against inflation. They have taken the specialized world of Wall Street and put it within reach of every man with enough money to buy a fund share, which is kept low-priced, usually between...
Says M.I.T.'s Robinson: "Within their range, mutual funds can fit the need of almost any investor." They can also find a host of critics.

Nor is the shibboleth of "equal time, equal space" for conflicting views an adequate yardstick. What Cater asks is greater awareness within the press corps of the enormous power it holds and of the manifold ways in which that power and its holders can be used. The mechanical pitfalls in the way of commuting the "truth" from Washington to the reader who moves his lips can only be met by conscious...
