Skeptical of the maze of domestic programs created by the Great Society, the President-elect hopes to shift the emphasis from federal action to private initiative in antipoverty efforts and slum rehabilitation. Even Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat who as Assistant Secretary of Labor helped create the anti-poverty program and who will serve Nixon as a White House assistant specializing in urban problems, is highly critical of the way the present setup works. In a book to be published this winter, Moynihan calls the current Administration's approach "sloppy" and misguided (see box, page...
...DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN is the best-known practitioner in the U.S. of that new specialty called ur-banology. As the recently appointed head of Richard Nixon's projected Cabinet-level Council on Urban Af fairs, he will have a hand in reshaping the nation's existing antipoverty programs.

Reason to Hope. This means that sometime next year, Daniel Jackson Oliver Wendell Holmes Morgan, now 59, may get up, clear his throat and argue before the highest court in the land. Morgan, who was freed last May and now lives in Washington, says that he is "seriously considering" doing just that. Court officers report that there is no reason why a nonlawyer may not plead his own case before the justices. Even if he does not win, Morgan's triumph will no doubt encourage other jailhouse lawyers to hope that they, too, may one day demonstrate their skills...
