...that the public cannot hear immediately, see within hours, and begin to comprehend within days. When TIME began, in March 1923, this was not so. The film was prepared by our Promotion staff for educational and business audiences. We are delighted that it has proved to be of broader interest than we originally anticipated...
Despite a letter from Secretary of State William Rogers saying that granting Mandel a visa was "in the national interest," Mitchell last week refused to allow the 46-year-old economist to make another visit. He had been invited to lecture at several U.S. universities, including Princeton, M.I.T. and Vassar. The reason: in 1968, Mandel deviated from his itinerary, which under the provisions of the act is forbidden.

This carelessness has a deeper explanation than "naivete," but it is one that Moynihan ignores. It is often in the self-interest of government agencies to ignore the secondary consequences of their decisions. It facilitates both their survival and expansion. In the real world there exists little rational planning. The most critical decisions result haphazardly, for they must be ratified at a number of unrelated levels: Congress, the state legislature, and city council. The New Federalism, which Moynihan is advocating, will encourage more neglect by increasing the strength at each level...
