When it comes to men and girls, though, what December sees in May is fairly obvious, but what does May see in December? Christmas, wags answer; and not even the most romantic would deny that money and marriage are often intertwined. Still, today's unions of old and young seem to involve more than sex or cash. As women grow more emancipated and financially independent, the necessity of marrying older men is disappearing. Now the considerations are more psychological and esthetic. It is a commonplace that some young girls turn to older men in a psychological quest for their...
...citizen getting a fair shake for his money? For an estimated 25% of the population, the answer is yes. For another 50%, medical care can be described as passable, but it is certainly not as good as it could and should be. For 25%, care is either inexcusably bad, given in humiliating circumstances, or nonexistent. The breakdown is not simply by social stratum: the rich do not necessarily get the best care, nor the poor the worst. Says Dr. William H.

...remarkably unedited Boyd piece makes essentially the same point, something you learn in high school civics--the congressman has so many obligations to answer his constituents' letters, give speeches back home, help get voters jobs, etc., that he does not have time to "legislate," i.e., vote on bills.

When the "charges" finally appeared, they turned out to be a list of 85 questions under such headings as "Weird Conceptions about the Clergy in the Church," and "Subversive Interpretation Concerning the Liturgy and Ecclesiastical Discipline." Sample question: "How do you respond to those who present you as petulant, adventurous, imprudent, fanatical...
These are the types of questions which the press should have been attempting to answer if those who rely on it are to make accurate judgments of what is happening politically in the nation. For too long the national press dealt with Wallace only in order to denigrate him--not seeking to explain why he attracted the type of support that he did. For many weeks following McCarthy's Granite State victory, many columnists continued to say that the vote was based on Johnson's personality rather than on the war. Greater emphasis on non-personality-oriented reportage might have...
