...good side is clearly visible. Last week the Administration scraped together $200 million in special aid to help rebuild areas damaged by riots. Despite fears that John Mitchell, the seemingly conservative Attorney General, would go slow on civil rights, he has moved the Justice Department vigorously into new areas.

However, as one puts it: "Getting Velasco interested in the economy is like getting a Buddhist monk interested in water-skiing." Conversations on the problem-Peru refuses to term them negotiations-resume shortly in Washington. Before long, the Administration firmly hopes, the monk will develop a yen to waterski...
