...Moonies, the Korean CIA and the Park regime, such investigations plus Moon's often unsavory publicity may build up enough resistance in Congress to be reflected in votes against aid to South Korea. As a result of the recent furor, there are indications that Moon's high-level support at home considers him a political liability...
Continuing its high-level holding pattern of the past three months, the Dow Jones industrial average last week came close to a three-year high of 1011 before settling back a bit to close at 992.6, down 3.62 for the week. But by several other measures the market is not particularly high at all-nor has it risen fast enough this year to make many investors feel rich.

Moreover, the Public Interest conservatives refuse to identify their cause with the status-anxious "little man," which Rightists from the late Tom Watson to George Wallace have attempted to do. Befitting high-level academics--Daniel Patrick Moynihan is among the contributors to "The American Commonwealth, 1976"--theirs is an elitist rightism. Like John Adams, the traditionalist of colonial days, they seem to have no greater fear than that of King...
