Senator Jacob Javits thinks the Nixon-Rogers relationship "might be like that of John and Robert Kennedy." If so, State may regain some of the influence it lost to the Pentagon when it could not compete with the strong leadership of former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara...

Britain, for example, has just imposed a requirement that importers of "nonessentials"-including almost all manufactured products-must deposit half the price of the goods with the government for six months. Despite such restrictions, world trade, which grew by only 5% in 1967, is expected to regain its more normal 8% annual expansion rate this year.

Labor might then become a suitably militant ally for blacks, students, and the poor. But more likely, with growth stifled, and membership yielding to automation, an already tired trade union movement will simply wither...
