What Do You Care? Not an easy man to work with, Johnson at first found it hard to recruit top men for government. But his recent appointments-Arthur Goldberg to the U.N., Thurgood Marshall as Solicitor General, John Gardner as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, and Abe Fortas to the Supreme Court-have not only been topnotch, but should make it possible for him to get almost anyone he wants in the future...

The topic that stirred the conference's loudest and sharpest clash was the notion that federal grants may be followed by federal testing to assess educational results. Warned Commissioner Keppel: "The nation's taxpayers and their representatives in Congress will want to know-and have every right to know-whether that investment is paying off." John I. Goodlad, director of U.C.L.A.'s University Elementary School, proposed a highly selective sample testing of a representative...
