ABSTRACT
These remarks were made over thirty years ago by Gordon Sinclair, a radio personality for station CRFB in Toronto, Canada. At the time, the United States faced inflation at home and an unfavorable dollar abroad. Unemployment was high and America’s superiority in manufactured goods, high technology, and natural resources was being questioned on many fronts. The Vietnam war had cost the United States considerable prestige in the eyes of many Europeans and the Watergate affair was beginning to unravel the administration of Richard Nixon. All in all, this was not a happy time for the American people, which is why Sinclair spoke as he did during one of his daily radio commentaries.
