...poor are crisis-oriented. They neglect preventive care, and often delay in seeking help when a serious problem arises. Too often the practitioners they select are the local subprofessional quacks who have infiltrated and won the confidence of the neighborhood because they are racially and socially no different than the poor. The middle class, white doctors and nurses are different: They don't live with the poor, they just make their living from them. Even when the care is free, the delicate problem of winning the acceptance of the community remains. Dr. Salber and her staff organized a propaganda program...

The effect that the looting of stores and the destruction of homes and lives has upon these people does not help the fight for equal opportunity.

...core-city has obscured the growing power of a very different type of reformer: the educational academic. Though ghetto residents hold no affection for their cloistered allies, the two communities are linked by the logic of reform. Harried politicians run from encounters with angry ghetto voters to cry for help in the arms of academics. This winter's Harvard Educational Review lets the layman eavesdrop on what those experts are telling each other, and what they are probably telling their worried political friends...
