...altogether bleak for the nation-or for Lyndon Johnson. For all the grumbling, the President may get very nearly what he requested in the way of increased Social Security benefits (House-Senate conferees proposed a 13% increase last week instead of the 15% proposed by Johnson), foreign aid (the Senate is seeking to restore more than half a billion dollars to the $2.1 billion House measure), and education (the Senate rejected moves to trim $2.5 billion from Johnson's threeyear, $14.5 billion school-aid program...
...real moral and ethical difficulty in heart transplants arises from medical uncertainty. Even when the heart has "stopped cold" and there is no more respiration, the condition is often reversible-as is proved countless times every day by first-aid squads and lifeguards as well as doctors. The surgeon wants the donor's heart as fresh as possible, before lack of oxygen causes deterioration or damage-that is, within minutes of death. This has raised the specter of surgeons' becoming not only corpse snatchers but, even worse, of encouraging people to become corpses. The question remains: Where should...

...instance, C.R.L.A. took up the case of an eight-months pregnant Spanish-speaking farm worker who was denied welfare aid for failing to use an official phrase on an application form. C.R.L.A. asked for a hearing, and the welfare agency approved the application and made back payments. C.R.L.A. challenged the constitutionality of complex Internal Revenue Service requirements that are either incomprehensible or impossible to fulfill for Spanish-speaking Mexican-Americans. The IRS not only conceded but also asked Lorenz for help in hiring bilingual employees to explain its requirements...
Snip, Snip. It is typical of both the varied splendors of the Walters and the casualness with which they are kept that the show marks the first time that a complete catalogue of the museum's 215 enamels has been prepared. The task was completed with the aid of a $12,500 Ford Foundation grant-and a dozen more catalogues are needed. Many experts believe that the Walters has one of the top ten all-round public collections in the country, but nobody knows for sure. The museum has shown so many superlative examples of work from the classical...
