Beatification. If Thurgood Marshall's qualifications for the Supreme Court were unimpeachable, his selection was also politically astute-an act of official beatification that brought cheers from virtually every segment of the civil rights spectrum and should earn the Administration points among disenchanted Negro voters in next year's elections. "This has stirred pride in the breast of every black American," said Floyd McKissick, combative director of the Congress of Racial Equality...
...younger set, a chance for action is provided through the Viet Cong's "assault youth companies," composed of teen-age girls and boys. The companies carry supplies and help police battle fields. They earn 30? a month. If the girls, who are 17 and up, become pregnant while on active duty, they get two months' leave and a maternity benefit of $2.25. Eventually they are expected to graduate into the ranks of the Viet Cong proper, an estimated 10% of whom are women. Last week U.S. Marine Lieut. General Lewis W. Walt reported that in some parts...

The forces of the housing market seem to be having a similar effect -- pushing the poor out of their neighborhood...

Even less are we concerned with the "poverty line" figure of $3,000 (page 8), for the reason that this figure is irrelevant. It is, we should add, a figure for twelve months, whereas a Teaching Fellow may earn additional income in the three summer months. One could argue as follows: But basically there is little point in such comparison of student fellowships with national labor statistics for breadwinners...
