“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones?

It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)
“The base emotions Plato banned
