...criticism of the present Selective Service System is the freedom it allows the nation's 4,000 local draft boards. A federally controlled lottery system would change this, and the President has called for a report on the draft boards to be delivered in December. Perhaps, as Senator Jacob Javits has suggested, the caprices of local-board autonomy could be eliminated by establishing area and regional boards. Data-processing equipment would take the place of subjective judgments by local board members...
...Paulo may be uninhabitable by the year 2000," says Biologist Jacob Zug-man. Along with the city's growing air-and water-pollution problems, he says, "the city noises are assaulting our sanity."

As they see it, the Phillips type of strategy would split the nation. For them, a Republican majority must be broadened along racial, as well as class, lines. They have demonstrated that Republicans can contend for power successfully without abandoning either the cities or the blacks...
...Lutheran Council in the U.S.A., a national agency that coordinates certain welfare, mission and other activities, and serves as a meeting ground for theological discussions. But at this year's convention, the moderate Harms was turned out by a grassroots conservative reaction that elected as President Dr. Jacob A. O. Preus (rhymes with choice), head of the Synod's Concordia Seminary in Springfield, Ill. The election of Preus, a learned conservative who opposes fellowship, was seen as an implied vote of no confidence in the Harms-backed plan for fellowship with the ALC. Despite Harms' personal defeat...
