...success of future programs will hinge on the police department's ability to establish a firm--and possibly sometimes friendly--rapport with the Rangers. This can only happen if the police begin to treat the Rangers fairly and communicate with them as individual youngsters with distinct problems. Getting the confidence of the Rangers will not be easy, especially for police who are, by definition, working at cross-purposes with the gang. Racial and class differences complicate the problem. In addition, a Blackstone Ranger's entire life has taught him to trust no one. Typically a Ranger comments, "Nobody kept...
...most New Leftists still embrace S.N.C.C. and CORE, the embrace is one-sided; the leaders of those organizations, with their new drive for black power, have frozen whites out.

But they are in the distinct minority. Presbyterian Eugene Carson Blake, General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, declares: "Surely, if the chambers of commerce, labor unions, university faculties and women's clubs properly influence political decisions, it is a basic rejection of the importance of God himself if the church...
Student attitudes, as distinct from the behavior to which these attitudes lead, are extremely difficult to ascertain in a communist country. Limited survey research in Poland, the U.S.S.R., and elsewhere, however, along with the impressions of those outsiders who have lived among students in a communist society, have provided some direct evidence of student attitudes...
