...ability to cut through rhetoric to cruel reality: there are an estimated 15 million underfed Americans. In fact, the consensus statement seemed almost a victory over the conference format itself, which was encumbered with such panel topics as "Nutrition Teaching in Elementary and High Schools," and "Adults in an Affluent Society...
...hand to put an end to hunger in America itself for all time.' Speaking for this Administration, I not only accept that responsibility, I claim the responsibility."

Plagued especially over the past decade by financial crises, it has managed to survive them all by means of affluent and generous trustees. Last month, while friends of mine were being smashed at M.I.T.. I was in New York getting smashed over oysters and wine at the Century Club. The trustees were meeting to decide whether the August issue would appear before December. Norman Mailer had been elected...
