Disease v. Cure. It was by no means the only strong reaction. In Washington, Lyndon Johnson took advantage of an address before 400 officials of women's organizations to answer the critics of his domestic programs-not only Bobby, but also Martin Luther King, as well as conservatives who want to reduce spending. "To those who believe that we are backing off, I say, no, we are staying for the long pull," said the President. As proof, he noted that the amount of federal funds helping the poor through all social programs now totals $22 billion, nearly 21 times...

In a child's first year or two, the symptoms of both ailments are similar to those of deafness: the child fails to associate sounds with their sources and respond directly to external stimuli. He will also not learn to talk on schedule. But simple tests by doctors can usually discover whether the cause of such symptoms...
