...Barkas, a Princeton junior whose interest is Russian studies, has found the Woodrow Wilson School a way of escaping the comparatively rigid departmental requirements. Barkas enrolled his fall in a "junior conference" on U.S. relations with a divided Europe. The junior conferences--loose equivalents of the graduate policy conferences--split up into "commissions," which in turn split up into individual research projects. Mostly by luck, Barkas found himself studying trade with the Soviet Union...
Ironically, for all the interest and concern the Institute seems to have stimulated, its operations this fall have been of a limited and experimental nature. Neustadt himself has gone to great lengths to emphasize that the Institute will not, for awhile at least, impose a rigid pattern on any of its major programs--the Faculty study groups, the Institute Fellowships, the undergraduate seminars, or the visits of the Honorary Associates...

...denies that today's underdeveloped nations will have to use considerable planning and controls if they hope to make progress, but Balogh's case is too extreme, too rigid. Harold Wilson's friend seems to overlook the resounding success of Western Europe's market economies. He also ignores the fact that the Communist world, prodded by such economists as Russia's Evsei Liberman and Czechoslovakia's Ota Sik, is rapidly loosening state controls and adopting Western methods of enterprise. Above all, he fails to mention the recent advances of free enterprise from Chile...
