Q-
Certainly, not all businessmen can take front-line positions in
government as did George Romney, Robert McNamara and others but as
community leaders you can fulfill your public responsibilities by establishing
closer contact with government officials, encouraging your a ssociates to
become more active in practical politics and by speaking out with courage
as individuals en major public issues.
Business executives often discover their counterparts in government have
much in common dedication, concern and a heavy workload.
Practical politicians welcome expert advise, but they don't get it
often enough from businessmen perhaps we need better communications.

and maintain a strong two-party system.
