Fundamental Change. Last week the Department of Housing and Urban Development gave the first operating grant -$19 million to Seattle-under the Model Cities program, which was enacted in 1966. Twenty other grants are anticipated this month. Similarly, the Labor and Defense Departments last month expanded their Concentrated Employment Program, which trains jobless men for posts on military installations. On all such spending programs, Nixon has indicated that he intends to conduct a full review...
Even the two educators in the crowd face cuts in remuneration. George Shultz says that he will be making a "very substantial sacrifice" when he resigns as Dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business to become Secretary of Labor. He will also have to give up income from directorships of Borg-Warner, the General American Transportation Co., and the Stein, Roe and Farnham funds. To become Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Hardin will receive the same base pay of $35,000 that he has been drawing as Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, but he loses his free...
Poland's foremost economists have long pleaded for reforms that would encourage promising light industries, introduce the profit incentive to both management and labor, and decentralize the huge, torpid bureaucracy that rules the country's industry. As long ago as 1957, Jedrychowski announced that the state had agreed to those reforms "in principle."

The standard of living has risen only fractionally since 1956. The press is full of complaints about...
...Taranto, where, true to a promise he had made last month, he celebrated Christmas Eve Mass for 7,000 steelworkers and their families. In his sermon, delivered from an altar made of rolled steel slabs, Paul deplored the "separation and lack of understanding" that divides the worlds of labor and religion. "It almost seems that there is no common language be tween you and us," he said. "But this estrangement has no reason to exist. The church knows you, studies you, interprets you and defends you, much more than you often think...
...Homestead steel strike in 1892 (eight years after Allan's death) that finally turned the word Pinkerton into a hated synonym for union-breaking muscle; for during that strike, Winchester-toting agents were imported as "watchmen." As late as the 1930s, Pinkertons were finding congenial work playing labor spies on behalf of management. For today's Pinkerton heirs, however, the intoxicating old self-righteousness is gone. Robert II, the fourth generation of detective Pinkertons, who would have preferred to remain a Wall Street broker, is now chairman of the board. Seventy branch offices are tamely staffed with...
