...housing, at least in the short range; there simply is no such thing, given the high costs of land, labor, materials and mortgage financing. What we can prouce is housing for for low and moderate income families. The only way we have to do that, at present, is to build housing whose cost to those who live in it can be reduced with public money to a level consistent with their ability to pay. That solution, obviously, cannot be implemented by any city alone. Public money in adequate amounts to reduce the cost of land and operating expenses simply...
...must have plans finalized and beginning to be implemented as soon as humanly possible to use the other 1100 units presently allocated, for new construction and for acquisition and rehabilitation of existing housing. This means we must all move quickly and effectively than we have been. We must not build more institutional "projects," isolated from the rest of the community, no matter how hard that is to do under restrictive Federal cost and design regulations. We must stop talking about the need for more housing for low-income families, but objecting when a site in our own neighborhood is proposed...
Meeting that challenge will take more creativity and boldness than we have used. We should create opportunities for home ownership for low-income families, who can build up equity in apartments they occupy as purchasers rather than as tenants.

Betsy, allowed as how she was attending classes regularly for the first time she could remember, now, during the strike, to show that people other than fascists cared about such things as freedom of movement. By way of being sympathetic, I went with...
...wife's emotional makeup is often the decisive element in aggravating the outcome of a lengthy separation. Women who lost one parent while they were children or whose parents wrangled constantly often lack "a chance to build up a belief in a benign environment," says Navy Psychiatrist Chester Pearlman. They develop severe doubts about whether people who leave them will ever return and never acquire the crucial "capacity to be alone." Dr. Richard Isay, a psychiatrist at the Yale University School of Medicine who has studied wives of submarine sailors, says that extreme dependency is common in wives...
