...lunch) for $500 a month. People who cannot afford even this much may sometimes find a plain but safe haven in public housing projects specially designed for the elderly, which offer low-rent living to those who are physically, if not financially, able to go it alone. Chicago shelters 9,250 aged tenants at 41 special sites, including the huge Britton I. Budd complex near Lake Front Park. There Martin Smith, 82, pays $55 a month for an apartment that he feels is better than his daughter's $195-a-month place, and complains only about his arthritis...

There was the Hangchow high school student explaining that anyone could play basketball, but to play for the school team you had to be a good student and a good Marxist-Leninist...
...Miller carried fresh in his mind the memories of rank-and-file travails. Just two years before, he had been down working in the mines, and on the eve of his ascent to power he had been supporting a family of four with part-time jobs and a $106-a-month war-disability check from the Government. Now one of the dozen more important U.S. labor leaders, he is still struggling to build the executive expertise his position demands. At the same time, he brings to his job a gift for empathy...
