...point you failed to mention in your excellent article on the stock market [May 25] was the effect of the high surcharge on commissions for the small investor. By discouraging the little man who would like to share sincerely in American industrial progress, the marketeers will soon find themselves facing institutions only. Then we will see a battle of the giants interested only in outsmarting each other. Trade-offs on huge blocks of shares may be common, and eventually brokers will disappear...
...world politics, strategy, history, social patterns? And just how are things "getting worse each day"? Did she ever take the time to find out just how much better a place the world is today for just how many more people than it was a mere 50 years ago?

In New Orleans last April, Mayor Moon Landrieu was elected on a similar black-labor-liberal coalition, picking up fully 92% of the black vote in the Democratic primary and 99% in the general election...
...Brother. Addonizio, a seven-term member of Congress and mayor since 1962, has built a reputation of being liberal on racial matters. In this election he has decorated the city with bland "Peace and Progress" posters, but in his speeches he has turned more and more to race. Relaxed and genial as always in private conversation, he commutes from his trial to tell campaign audiences that Gibson is "part of a raw and violent conspiracy to turn this city over to LeRoi Jones and his extremist followers." Black Militant Jones, whose violence-filled plays and poems frighten many whites...
