...course. But could the job be done differently and better? Many critics, mostly on the left, argue at least that it should be done more expensively. Labor Leader Walter Reuther complains that the Administration is doling out anti-poverty funds "with an eyedropper." Liberal Economist Leon Keyserling maintains that the effort requires at least $15 billion a year, roughly ten times what Johnson has been spending.

That may have been the first piece of good luck in B.'s unhappy life. Jaffe and Brill asked him to join a pilot study on a new drug that seems to have the remarkable effect...
