...GARDNER: Very few of our most prominent people take a really large view of the leadership assignment. Most of them are simply tending the machinery of that part of society to which they belong. The machinery may be a great corporation or a great government agency or a great law practice or a great university. These people may tend it very well indeed, but they are not pursuing a vision of what the total society needs. They have not developed a strategy as to how it can be achieved, and they are not moving to accomplish...
...successfully, has the inside track on replacing him. In fact, Agnew may even quietly urge Maryland's 33 G.O.P. legislators (v. 152 Democrats) to support Mandel, who helped him to enact income tax reform and an open-housing bill as well as to repeal Maryland's antimiscegenation law. A quiet veteran of 17 years in the legislature, Mandel appoints all house committees, signs all bills, and presides over its sessions with a composure that only rarely abandons him (he has bitten through half a dozen pipestems, broken two gavels during tense moments...

The psychiatrists urged that Presidents and presidential candidates be prohibited by law from "close contact" with crowds when a visit has been announced in advance. That is particularly urgent, they suggested, because assassinations themselves breed violent reactions in disturbed people, making other assassinations more likely...
Second, we must transfer more initiative for reform to local and community groups. Aggrieved individuals can more easily approach a local agency governing education, poverty, or law enforcement. More important, an agency with first-hand knowledge of a city can deal more efficiently and wisely with its problems than can lockstep reform from Washington. New Haven's enlightened urban renewal, for example, has been slowed down by the legislative morass of Federal aid programs. Goodwin wants to establish minimum Federal standards to prevent abuse, but then, give money to the cities and let them work...
