Liberals were also less than pleased with the welfare program's proposed base-subsidy figure of $1,600. As the family income increases, the federal subsidy would decrease. When the family's annual income reached $3,920, all federal assistance would end. New York Republican Senator Jacob Javits said that the $1,600 must only be considered "as a beginning." Javits added: "Congress will have to consider-perhaps on a phased-in basis-a support level of at least $3,000 for those who are unable to support themselves." Congress will have that opportunity. Three representatives-Jonathan Bingham...
Many progressive Republicans, amateurs and academics, such as the Ripon Society leadership, would find life within Phillips' G.O.P. untenable, as would many working politicians, including Nelson and Winthrop Rockefeller, Hugh Scott, Jacob Javits, Charles Percy, George Romney and Edward Brooke. 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.

Despite Harms' personal defeat...
...about the same time, the future astronaut was taking his first close look at the moon through a homemade 8-in. reflector telescope fashioned from a stovepipe and mounted on roller-skate wheels atop a garage. The wondrous device belonged to Jacob Zint, a neighbor of the Armstrongs and a draftsman in the Westinghouse plant. "I can't recall that Neil ever said he wanted to go to the moon," says Zint. But as early as 1946, Armstrong was regularly visiting the makeshift observatory and often, says Zint, "he looked right into the Sea of Tranquillity"?the prime site...
Missed Drama. For the zealous reader interested in a genuine perspective, Jacob Burckhardt's masterpiece, The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, published a century ago, is still unmatched for breadth and depth. Prescott's anecdotal effort does not bear comparison with it. Playing Leonard Lyons to the age, Prescott not only misses the central drama but often seems to substitute bizarre performance for more illuminating characterization. Perhaps it is simply that there are too many characters: in a book that revolves around famous families, there are no fewer than 29 d'Estes, 23 Sforzas, 23 Gonzagas...
