When Doar, 46, announced last week that he was leaving the Justice Department, his departure was mourned as "the end of an era" and "a major loss to the civil rights movement." Actually, John Doar is not being lost at all. He is going once again to where the action is, this time into the city ghettos, which have become the new battleground for civil rights. Doar will become president of an ambitious self-help project supported jointly by Government and private funds in Brooklyn's crime-ridden, abjectly poor Bedford-Stuyvesant section. His replacement at the Civil Rights...
Rare Admission. Charles de Gaulle, at 77, seldom acknowledges any intimations of mortality. But last week he wound up his press conference with the rare admission that "there is always an end to everything. Everyone comes to an end." The advent of the era of aprés-De Gaulle, he said, "could be this evening, in six months' time, or in one year. Or it could be in five years, since that, according to the constitution, is when the mandate entrusted to me expires. And if I wanted to make some people laugh, or others groan, I could...
...larger stake in the aprés-De Gaulle era than Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou, 56, the onetime professor of literature and investment banker whom De Gaulle thrust untutored into French politics as his premier in 1962.

...billion by paring 10% from outlays for "controllable" programs and 2% from personnel costs. Even with that, federal spending in this fiscal year will climb to $136 billion, as measured by the administrative budget, and the deficit will be close to $20 billion-highest since the World War II era. That threatens to tighten credit and increase interest rates, raise consumer prices and debilitate the dollar. Obviously, the budget must be cut still further...
...train Volunteers for this? Freud once remarked that children are prepared for the tropics and then sent to the polar ice cap. He was talking about children in the comfortable classes who were sheltered in the Victorian era from any knowledge of sex or aggression. Young people in our own society are less sheltered in these respects on the whole, but they are often sheltered by our relative affluence, efficiency, and cooperativeness from what it is like to live in a world of peasant distrust, misery, and fatalism. And yet Volunteers do learn. Many in the Colombia group had begun...
