Curmudgeon and Gadfly. As an organic cure for the complex ills of great U.S. cities, Jane Jacobs' program was preposterous. By itself, planned diversity could hardly create a new way of life for urban slum dwellers. Given the economic pressures working upon them, and the present tastes of middle-class and lower-class city dwellers alike. U.S. city planners are no more likely to re-create old neighborhood living successfully than William Morris would have been in rejuvenating Victorian England by establishing a Utopian handicraft community on the banks of the river Wandie.

Though the SFAC mandate was open through the Spring and into the beginning of this Fall, Glazier admits that he never considered it as anything more than Hoffmann's rational and reasonable forum.

In Big Science, for example, team members work on such small segments of an overall project that they feel no ethical responsibility for the result-a minor concern if the goal is a cancer cure, for example, but a major one if they work on pesticides...
...unwanted marriage. Eventually they were able to deduce that the child was only a surrogate for an elaborate complex of wrath which involved not only her husband but her father. The mother was told only a part of this. And in three weeks, the clinic-produced, not a cure, but a dressing for an ugly emotional wound. "We haven't guaranteed she won't beat her child again," says Dr. Philip Margolis, the clinic's director. "But we may have deterred...
