...General Creighton Abrams, the U.S. commander in Viet Nam, Laird suggested reducing B-52 sorties by more than 10%, from 1,800 to 1,600 per month. The savings would come chiefly in the planes' 30-ton bomb loads, which cost $42,000. There would be little tactical impact; probably the same number of B-52 missions will be flown as before, but they may involve five planes rather than the standard...
...schools themselves have yet to make any significant impact on school systems or on the mass of ghetto populations. None goes beyond elementary school (though most have ambitions to expand further) and Philadelphia's Mantua-Powelton Mini School probably tops the enrollment figures with 150 students. Since they draw no funds and only small numbers of children from the public schools, school administrators can afford to ignore them. The difficulty of raising funds (most schools depend on private contributions and community fund drives for money, though some get occasional boosts from federal or foundation grants) has effectively limited the number...
...present state, they often have difficulties when pressed to project it back to his condition at the time of the crime. The link is unprovable: no psychiatrist was there, and as University of Wisconsin Psychiatrist Seymour Halleck has observed, "because of the enormous psychological impact of an offender's crime, incarceration, and trial, his emotional state is constantly changing...
...dirge reflects not only the declining impact of religion generally but some hard demographic facts. Largely because of farm mechanization, England's rural population has dwindled by 75% in the past half-century; in some isolated pockets of Sussex and East Anglia, it has fallen to 2% of the pre-World War I level. But while the people have gone, their churches remain. Near the village of Tetford, for example, there are seven miniature churches, most of them nearly 200 years old, that were built by the old town gentry in a kind of keeping-up-with-Squire-Jones...
Virtually everyone admits that Cambridge has a housing problem, and some, perhaps a majority of the citizens, term it a crisis. There is little data indicting the extent of the problem, of its impact on various groups in the City. A rent survey based on news, newspaper ads, and a poll of 2000 senior citizens show that rents have risen sharply in recent years, and that many elderly persons are paying much of their income for rent. To social scientists, the data might seem inadequate, but for purposes of public policy-making, it seems safe to assume that a housing...
