...void may be less than vacuum-tight. The press was at this teach-in; the press will be at all the teach-ins across the nation. So will most of the peace candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Lindsay, Muskie, Clark, McGovern, Bavh, Gardner, Hughes-and. of course, McCarthy. The New York Times account of the Harvard teach-in didn't mention the name of another speaker at the meeting; the entire article was devoted to McCarthy.

Now Lindsay is attempting to bring down the whole haphazard welfare structure, the better to build it anew. He is preparing a legal attack contending that HEW mandates resulting in automatic increases in his welfare budget amount to an illegal, destructive tax by the Federal Government on the city.
