...Americans look on homosexuals with disgust, discomfort or fear, and one out of ten regards them with outright hatred. A majority considers homosexuality more dangerous to society than abortion, adultery or prostitution. Society's hostility toward the homosexual-particularly the male -leaves him wide open to blackmail and job discrimination. Police, concentrating more on attempting to control homosexuals than those who prey on them, often resort to such quasi-legal and demeaning tactics as entrapment. The stresses of living hidden lives create in homosexuals a high incidence of anxiety and other psychological problems...

On the other hand, the President sent to Congress a billion-dollar program to combat hunger, despite Burns' strenuous objections that it was unnecessary and cost...
...enough to contain inflation. Once ensconced in the White House, he optimistically judged in April that it would be reasonable to expect the Administration to bring the rate of inflation down to 3% for 1969. It is now running at 6%. Nevertheless, Burns brings to his new job a formidable reputation for being right more often than wrong, and the power that comes from being a longtime trusted adviser of the President...
