Call Her Mrs. Most of them have never even known normal family life. Of 334 families in one apartment project, only eleven are headed by men. Out of consideration, most unwed mothers are called "Mrs.," but a resident warns: "You don't ask a Negro woman about her husband. If she's married, she'll tell you." The ghetto's children, in particular, regard the riot leaders as freedom fighters. Those at the forefront of the chaos have hardly been chastened by such irresponsible post-mortems as Senator Robert Kennedy's verdict: "There...

The recipient of about as many honorary degrees as anyone else at Harvard, he is widely regarded as the "dean" of American college health care...
Best Treated. The report on Aerospace's activities, a product of eleven months' work, touches very little on technological activities. Secretary Zuckert credits Aerospace with guiding the development of the Titan III and Minuteman II missiles; Air Force Systems Commander General Bernard A. Schriever says that its engineers saved $100 million by improving the reliability of Atlas and Thor boosters. Aerospace has grown to be the 45th largest defense contractor, in the course of working on $309 million in military contracts has collected $15.9 million in fees. What seemed to bother the investigators was how the taxpayers...
