Such neuroses, it is increasingly clear, are born in a climate of decaying family structure. A recent Department of Labor report points out that nearly a fourth of all Negro children born today are illegitimate; from 1940 to 1963, while the white illegitimacy rate climbed from 2% to 3.07% of all births, the Negro rate soared from 16.8% to 23.6%.

...unemployment has become particularly bothersome in Lithuania, Moldavia, Byelorussia, Siberia and in the Central Asiatic Republics. Partly to blame is that old Western bugaboo, automation. When, for instance, Red planners automated the lime and asphalt plants of Leninsk in Tula province, they put half the region's unskilled laborers out of work. The Soviet Union also has a rising number of young people-many of them school dropouts-who are unable to find work because they lack the skills required by modern industry.
