...Historically, reform of the corporation has affected its external relationships--don't pollute, don't price-fix, don't advertise deceptively. The Corporate Democracy Act would seek instead to reform the internal governance structure so that, consistent with a market economy, companies would exercise their great discretion in more democratic, hence responsible, ways." Ralph Nader...
...Democrat is either a fool or a lecher. While the author spends 10 single-spaced pages spelling out the intricacies of Chappaquiddick (and quoting George F. Will), he disregards Bush's role in the CIA, Connally's adventure in the dairy business and Reagan's innumerable bloopers. Instead of a balanced view of Big John, we are treated to a verbatim transcript of his plan for peace in the Middle East. To Bakshian, anything to the left of Eisenhower is deserving of slander. "So John Anderson's for abortion," he quotes someone identified only as "a crusty New Hampshire Republican...
...America and to undercut leftist solutions to American problems. Workers' wages and government spending for social programs became the scapegoat, Harrington asserts, although the real engine of inflation is corporate insistence on an untenable profit margin.

Corporations attend to the rotting beams by repairing the strong ones...
...Third Wave doesn't have nearly as many interesting laser-household-pets, deep-sea-wheat-fields, radio-shack-rocket-to-the-moon-kit predictions. Instead it offers a thorough compendium of every social critique ever raised. Ever hear anyone discuss the demeaning, unfulfilling work done in the world's factories? Sure you have. Well, Toffler has too, and he repeats it in ingratiating detail, describing the steel foundry he once toiled in. "I swallowed the dust, the sweat and smoke of the foundry. My ears were split by the hiss of the steam, the clank of the chains, the roar...
...Zealand, even Puerto Rico, Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, patriots are going their separatist ways, he says. Some, perhaps those who reset their watches every spring with an easy conscience, might protest that this proves Toffler wrong, demonstrating that nation-states, far from extinction, are likely only to multiply. Instead, Toffler says, we will soon become a world governed by "an Oceans Matrix, a Space Matrix, a Food Matrix, a Transport Matrix, an Energy Matrix, and the like, all flowing into and out of one another...
