This year may be a critical one for the future of the Center. The arrival of Daniel Patrick Moynihan as the new director of the Center coincided with a new, long-term grant from the Ford Foundation. A year ago, the was some doubt that Ford would continue its support, and James Q. Wilson, then the Director, was forced to reduce the Center's activities in anticipation of a possible financial squeeze. Now that Ford has agreed to maintain its annual contribution of $200,000 for the next seven years, the Center is engaged in rebuilding its programs. The allocation...
...Boston's anti-Poverty agency--if the manuscript is published at all. Thernstrom's critical analysis has already provoked matters of anger from local politicians and officials, and the author frankly admits that the publication would probably "set off a minor furor." The issue is particularly sensitive because the Ford Foundation both helps the Joint Center and is also involved with ABCD. Moynihan insists, however, that both his and Harvard University Press's hesitation in publishing the manuscript is due not to fear of hostile reaction, but rather doubts that a work of such limited scope is appropriate for publication...
...officers were told about the arrangement. They were required to sign a national-security pledge that they would never reveal that information-at the risk of a maximum 20-year prison sentence for violating its terms.

...beat the U.S. attendance record for a living artist, now held by Pablo Picasso, whose 75th-birthday showing at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art drew 328,206 visitors in 16 weeks in 1957.* Before the Whitney opening last week, Wyeth trekked up from his native Chadds Ford, Pa. (pop. 140), dressed in a pinstripe suit, and fielded the big-city critics' questions. What did he feel about op and pop? "Very exciting. It's today." Was his own art pertinent to the times? "I don't know. It's pertinent...
...Shutdowns. Automakers, with sales 18% below their 1966 pace so far this year, are hardest hit. American Motors last week began a ten-day total shutdown, idling 12,000 employees in Grand Rapids, Milwaukee and Kenosha, Wis. General Motors has laid off 4,760 people at six assembly plants. Ford, with 30,000 employees already working a week shortened to as little as three days, last week trimmed production further and announced it will furlough 2,000. Chrysler scheduled a week's shutdown for two plants next week...
