...made, that the United States can have a foreign policy other than shouting "Black!" when the Soviets shout "White!", that diplomatic initiative can be recaptured in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Mr. Nixon, by contrast, can offer nothing but limp defenses of Eisenhower mistakes, extravagant postures ("We shall not yield an inch of the area of freedom") and misleading claims ("There were 11 dictators in Latin America when we came in; now there are only three...I call that progress...
...obstructing more. The rationale of legislators has long been that the President "knows better" than they about a complex problem like Viet Nam through the Executive's intelligence and military bureaucracy. But as the Pentagon pa pers suggested, all of the expertise does not necessarily yield sound policy; the decision-making apparatus can achieve a blind momentum of its own. Worse, the White House may deceive Congress about its true intentions. Congressional intervention might well have averted, or shortened, some of the travail-and the need to make a case for Congress might have improved the quality of Executive...
...state proclaimed the caste system illegal in 1871, but prejudice did not yield to government fiat. On the average, buraku-min are less well educated than their countrymen, and their children test 16 IQ points lower than other Japanese.* About 7% of buraku families are on relief, more than twice the national average, and juvenile delinquency is 3/2 times higher among them than among other Japanese youths. According to Sueo Murakoshi, an outcast who surmounted the system to become a professor of sociology at Osaka City University and secretary-general of the Buraku Problem Research Institute: "Some high school classes...
...total of 1,647 house sites of one to five acres were planned, plus 400 clustered units-a high enough density to yield the owners a good return on their investment, but too high to preserve open space and forests. Hanslin got around the problem by grouping his sites in eleven petal-shaped villages that he calls, a bit cutely, "special places." More important, he requires every buyer to deed back to Eastman from 10% to 50% of his land (depending on "what creates the most advantageous site") as permanent open space. In this way, almost 30% of the land...
...that the year could well be one of relative labor peace and noninflationary settlements. Surprisingly, 1972 was the most strike-free year since the mid-1960s; some of the reasons for this will continue to work for union moderation this year. Diminishing price increases made relatively modest pay raises yield greater increases in purchasing power than the outsize boosts of 1969-71. More and more expiring contracts contain escalators that automatically raise pay as prices go up. Result: union leaders no longer feel that they have to demand extravagant increases so that their members will stay ahead of inflation...
