...George Meany's tough hand, a powerful majority had shown that the A.F.L.-C.I.O. would risk its own future to protect honest unions from creeping corruption. The suspension would be lifted only if the Teamsters cleared Hoffa and his pals from the union and permitted the federation to correct Teamster abuses; otherwise, the Council would recommend expulsion by the A.F.L.-C.I.O. convention.

...sentence in your editorial, though technically correct, is incomplete enough to be misleading. I refer to your statement that "Only those students with minor dental problems are taken." This policy does actually apply to routine restorative dentistry (fillings). We feel we can do more good by referring one student with a long program of restorative dentistry to an outside dentist whom we know and then taking three short restorative cases in the clinic in his stead, than we would if we were to take the long case in the clinic and then refer the three short cases outside.

Daniel Selznick, although occasionally over-petulant and childish, is generally most persuasive, and honest and successful. Jill Welden is right as a bookkeeper...
...present American efforts in that area have either been completely misunderstood or understood all too well. Syria is convinced rightly or wrongly that the U.S. is supporting counter-revolutionary elements infiltrating the country in the hope of seizing power. If this concept is correct, and America is really engaging in melodramatic cloak-and-dagger activities, it is a sign of an unimaginative diplomacy and an imperialistic attitude. Neither are worthy of our State Department...
