...York, IBM disclosed plans for a plant to make computer cables in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant slum; starting within two months, the factory will employ 300 workers, mostly unskilled, by the end of 1969. Planning is already far advanced, under the federal model-cities program, for something like 4,000 much-needed housing units in Bedford-Stuyvesant and other slum areas of New York. Earlier this month, the Fairchild Hiller Corp., working with a black community group, opened the doors of the new Fairmicco Corp. in Washington's Shaw area.

Numerous experiments under Harvard's auspices employ human subjects. Many are in psychology and the other social sciences, but there are others in the physical sciences and biology. Such experiments raise a host of complicated ethical, legal, political and humanistic issues.

Through an induced preoccupation with the superstructure rather than the foundation, consequences many times removed from their causes are made to combine almost chemically into a facade which distracts from and undercuts the basic confict, ultimately vanishing with great speed and leaving the conflict solved. The effect is that of an unforgivably mixed metaphor which on second glance--and, therefore, also on the glance of the subconscious--reduces itself to a gut consistency. Hence satisfaction...
Local barber shops have lost from 20 to 60 per cent of their business in the past several years, with the real plunge coming since last fall. The University Barber Shop on Mass. Ave., which used to employ nine barbers, now has a staff of six, only three of whom are full-time...
