...Your cover story on economic reform in the Soviet Union [Feb. 12] was most welcome. By avoiding the inaccurate but oft-heard claim that the Soviet use of a profit measure to judge managerial efficiency is galloping capitalism, your story provided some needed understanding of a commonly misunderstood question. I do not foresee imminent total decentralization. Certainly a balance will be struck. And it will be one in which the political leaders retain control over the direction taken by the economy. In order to improve efficiency, more sensitive methods-those involving decentralized decision making-are needed. The current reforms...
...entitled "The Failure of the Mississippi Project" should have been more appropriately entitled, "The Failure of Mississippi". It represented a neat sleight of hand, putting Mississippi on the defensive in lieu of their usual offensive position. I must confess that my vision was blurred as I read about the "misunderstood (and) unjustly accused" state of Mississippi.

As an antidote, Author Ford has presented, in rather stilted fashion, back-to-back facts that usefully clear away the web of fabrication that the Audubon family did their best to spin...

I want to make these poins now, not only because no one likes to be misunderstood, but because the Administration of the University of California has been the butt of far more criticism than it deserves...
...Mississippian. I make this statement with neither shame nor excuses, but with the pride of a member of a good society. I recognize that Mississippi has faults as does every group of human individuals. I further realize that Mississippi is misunderstood, unjustly accused, and judged in an uninformed light. In regard to the Mississippi Project, I will not attempt to justify violence or misconduct, from the Philadelphia incident to church bombings, on the part of Mississippians. On the contrary, I condemn such actions, as do do the majority of Mississippi citizens. But rather, I shall try to explnai why most...
