Both changes dilute what until now have been considered essential elements in the antipoverty program. Community Organization, where successful, was bound to lead demonstrations and protest, since associations of the poor would find the normal channels of complaint frustratingly slow and unproductive. The Job Corps was designed explicitly for the "disadvantaged" -- and themost disadvantaged would be precisely those who had records of "antisocial behavior." President Johnson may win time with these concessions, fighting a holding action against critics until he has resources and political support to expand the program. But he is abandoning the strategy that he hailed so confidently...
...more serious complaint is that Mormonism is too much concerned with the perfection of its own organization, too little with the problems of the world. J. D. Williams, a professor of political science at the University of Utah and a former member of a stake (diocese) high council, argues: "It's time that the church indicated its concern for more things than simply internal structure and processes." He notes that the Salt Lake City League of Women Voters, in a city that is 52% Mormon, is almost exclusively staffed by "Gentiles" (non-Mormons). Church members should devote more...

Perhaps the greatest problem that the Psychiatric Service will face in coming years is the ability to communicate with the wide variety of students who go to Harvard. The most common complaint among students who have rejected the counseling they found at UHS is that it is narrow minded. Although not all of them use exactly this phrase, most of the dissatisfied feel that the Establishment doesn't understand them and thus is incapable of helping them...
Shades of Poppaea. Health officials in Indiana made the bizarre complaint that rivers were suffering from milk pollution. In Daleville, Ind., two women frolicked for photographers in 400-gal. milk baths-a higher-cholesterol ablution than anyone has enjoyed since Nero's wife, Poppaea, took a daily dip in asses' milk. In several towns, striking N.F.O. farmers bought up milk in stores, dumped it along with their...
