...Program, the OEO, and countless other programs promised to the poor and Black Americans by the Johnson-Humphrey Administration? The war is making a mockery of social justice and human rights here at home by eating up all the funds which could and should have been provided for the grave internal problems that face this country. In Vietnam the war takes a more direct and more tragic blow at social justice and human rights as the killing and bombing continues. How does a vote for HHH show a concern for "social justice and human rights" when this man has voiced...
...from the unconscious. In The Party, Pinter is governed once again by his vision of woman as the sexual aggressor. The secretary is pallidly but visibly related to the praying-mantis wife in The Homecoming.

Yet he and his four readers have also played the role of arbiters of public taste, passing judgment on some 800 new scripts each year. Their esthetic qualifications have been uncertain...
...Sources. For all Humphrey's attempts at Trumanesque aggressiveness, his campaign still has an air of nervous uncertainty about it. Well it might. Grave problems of financing and organization persist. The Vice President's financial sources dried up after Robert Kennedy's assassination; many of his backers had contributed out of their fear of R.F.K.'s attitudes toward businessmen. Only recently have the funds begun to flow again, mostly from New York. While Nixon has jammed prime-time with television announcements, Humphrey plaintively told California students last week: "I haven't been able to afford...
