...Ripon Society, a group of articulate, liberal Republicans, praised Nixon's welfare plan but warned last week that if the G.O.P. turns aside from the problems of the day, the party will disappear just as the Whigs did. "Men of good will may disagree about the means to solve the urban and black crises," said the Society. "They do not ignore them. The party that does not deal with these problems has no future, whatever the ethnic background of its constituents, and it will go the way of the Whigs, who floundered on the great issue of their...
...localities. Few strings would be attached, and present grants for particular purposes would presumably be continued. Nixon also wants to turn many of the manpower-training responsibilities back to the states. Both these plans mesh with the welfare proposal, and Nixon recommended that they be considered as a group.

For a total of 86 months among them, they had served in North Vietnamese prison camps; their release brought to nine the number of U.S. prisoners released by Hanoi since early 1968.

But whatever Hanoi's motives and however callously it toyed with the hopes harbored by the families of remaining prisoners, the release itself was a welcome...
Question of Selection. Throughout his long flight home on a commercial jet, Frishman, who became the group's spokesman, wrestled with what to say to the public. To TIME Reporter Peter Babcox, who joined the flight in Zurich, Frishman recalled his first encounter with the press in Laos with a grimace: "I expected everyone to want to know how I felt or whether I was looking forward to going home, but all they wanted to know was how I had been mistreated." Clearly, he and the others were bursting to talk of their ordeal and their impressions-but they...
