...education is only one phase of the self-perpetuating cycle that entraps the Negro-a low-paying job, or none at all, leading to housing in a slum, leading to a segregated, second-rate school, leading back to an inferior job. The basic way to break the vicious circle, thinks Moynihan, is with money. "Beef up the family income," he says, "and everything else will follow in its train." Moynihan proposes two measures. The Federal Government, he says, should guarantee jobs by becoming the "employer of last resort" any time the national unemployment rate is above 3%. Merely putting...
...government is putting emphasis on industrial development to help meet the demand. Thus, in a recent three-year plan setting down guidelines for his administration, Costa called for an "acceleration of development" first and "containment of inflation" second.

In American life, it has long been my observation that the intellectual, so-called, is fashionably dismissed as a serious factor in all the battles except...
...formed an informal local elite group. This latter group was very important in that while it represented the local people and the communities in dealing with the court, it also helped the court to reach the people. Since the court realized that the "laws of the king were inferior to the customs of the villages," the wisest thing for it to do in order not to have its "mandate from Heaven" revoked was to use these scholars who could usually effectively adapt the requirements of the court to the traditions of the villages...
