...religious man," he argues. "Therefore, it is my religion to rise up against wrong." He scorns the established order that the Koran bids the faithful to support.

Bhashani also makes no apology for his allegiance to China, heightened during his first visit to Peking in 1952. Says he: "I admire everything about China except its godlessness...
...this law as but another attempt to legislate away the current chronic housing shortage in Cambridge by unrealistic bureaucratic rules, instead of attacking the root problem, which is simply that Cambridge has too few apartments and must have more built fast. Unfortunately, though it is little-understood or read by otherwise well-informed Cambridge citizens, the whole Cambridge zoning law is what severely limits substantial new construction.

Some businessmen also fault the incentives. Ben Heineman, president of Northwest Industries and a Democrat, fears that if business were to receive tax subsidies but fail to root out social problems, it "could be set up as the goat of the next ten years." That is precisely the risk that businessmen run when working in Washington. The greater their voice in setting national policy, the more they will share the credit for U.S. triumphs-and the blame...
