...upset by an apparent Muskie snub during a trip he made to the state in December; old-line Georgia whites disliked his escorting Mrs. Coretta King to church. He has some following in Alabama, but has yet to campaign there. Several Mississippi delegate votes that could go to Muskie depend on who wins the current dispute between a black-liberal coalition and party regulars who lean to Henry Jackson. Arkansas delegate votes will be in the hands of Wilbur Mills until he decides to release them. Tennessee will probably split between Jackson and George Wallace. Texas Democrats could support Muskie...

The quality of a child's education, said the court, should not depend on "the wealth of his parents and neighbors," and courts in Minnesota, Texas and New Jersey have subsequently agreed. In his State of the Union message, President Nixon promised to come up with proposals for "revolutionary" changes in school finance, but neither he nor the courts have made it clear exactly...

...problems of overpopulation, war, famine, racism or crime are to be solved, rational processes will solve them. Those who squander their mental energies upon occult matters, such as astrology, tend as a class to depend upon the technologists and rationalists. I fear that if the present trend continues, our society will evolve toward exquisite dependency upon a dangerously small percentage of our members who remain in the rationalist camp. Should this come to pass, I fear that within a generation we would return to 30-vear life expectancies, rotten teeth and digging in the dirt with sticks for our food...
