Servan-Schreiber's work will naturally seem less revolutionary to Americans than to Europeans, from whom it demands, among other things, "a minimum of federalism." But it may come as a pleasant surprise for U.S. readers to see themselves, as at least one admiring Frenchman does, as a civili- zation whose "secret lies in the confidence of the society in its citizens." This confidence, says Servan-Schreiber. is manifested in such commonplace U.S. practices as continual reeducation of both executive and worker and in the delegation of responsibility that tries to "liberate initiative at every level." Europeans, he clearly says...
Secret Admirers. Morse's skill as a parliamentarian has helped save many Administration bills, and last month it helped the Democratic majority push through the biggest school-aid-authori-zation bill in history. By the time he takes the floor with a bill, Morse, No. 2 Democrat on the Labor and Public Welfare Committee, knows not only every detail in the bill but also who will oppose it-and just when he must compromise. He is consulted by the President on every important labor dispute. But primarily because of his Viet Nam policy, Morse's longtime supporter, Oregon...
Appeal to the People. The major piece of legislation remaining before Congress is Frei's landmark "Chileani-zation of copper" agreement. Needing only a congressional O.K. before it goes into effect, the deal will give the government a 51% interest in the U.S.'s Braden Copper Co. and a 25% interest in two new U.S. mining ventures, the most promising of which will extend operations at Chuquicamata, already the world's largest open-pit copper mine (TIME, Jan. 1). Nationalists and leftists in Congress are not likely to act on that presidential idea either. They accuse Frei...

...lost by three votes out of 3,000. He still talks about that defeat with a trace of anguish: "It was a heartbreaking election. It was the first and last time I ever ran for office." Harris learned his trade during nine years in the Elmo Roper polling organi zation. When he departed in 1956 to found Louis Harris & Associates, he took four Roper clients along with him - an unkindness that Elmo Roper has never forgiven. Today the Harris organization grosses roughly $700,000 a year, employs some 3,000 part-time interviewers, mostly women between...
