...veterans-recently paroled California convicts. It worked, until the legislature nervously stopped the money. (The head parolee later became a professional penologist.) Several states profitably rely on Author Bill Sands (My Shadow Ran Fast), a reformed California armed robber, whose Seven Step Foundation sends ex-convicts into prisons to counsel inmates and runs "freedom houses" to help re-leasees. Of 5,000 Seventh Step graduates so far, only 10% have returned to prison. An ex-New York prisoner named Hiawatha Burris has carved a new career persuading reluctant employers to hire ex-cons. With federal funds, Burris started Washington...
...Sneers. From Budapest to Peking, Communists greeted the gold stampede with outright gloating-showing at least that Lenin's followers still heed his counsel: "The way to defeat the capitalist system is to debauch its currency." Crowed the Polish trade-union council, Glos Pracy: "The dollar is doomed.

"I think it would be a mistake," declared Bobby Kennedy, "for the President to take a step towards escalation of the conflict without having the support and understanding of the Senate and of the American...
...have, and when. While he conceded that more research (at $12 million a year) into family planning is needed, the President declared that present knowledge of contraceptives must be made available to many more women who want it. As against $25 million currently available, which has financed family-planning counsel for 500,000 women, Johnson asked for $61 million so that 3,000,000 women can get advice and help. Always, of course, on a strictly voluntary basis...
