...volunteer student armies have dwindled. McCarthy has sometimes appeared supercilious, as last week in Indiana, when he declared the Hoosier primary to be "critical" to the outcome of the Democratic race. Later, in an unwonted exercise of heads-I-win-tails-you-lose casuistry, he explained testily that he meant it would be crucial only if he won against Kennedy and Hoosier Favorite Son Roger Branigin. Otherwise, he averred, Indiana would not matter much...
...Democrats in the 17-month-old coalition. The protest vote that the Social Democrats, as the opposition, used to attract now seems largely to go to the National Democrats; in Baden-Württemberg, the Socialists dropped from 37.3% of the vote in 1964 to 29% last week, which meant the loss of ten seats. Disappointed at the loss of their old image as a tough, independent-minded party, the Socialists in Bonn have become in creasingly restless of late in their alliance with the Christian Democrats.

Equally important, federal money found its way to the Boston School Department, particularly to the Department's Office of Program Development which supervised Boston's infant program of educational innovation.

They knew that if they could obtain small concessions from us before talks began, they would be able to achieve more and larger concessions from us once they were under way. If our Government desires that Viet Nam be another Korea, then it should agree...
...which reads that the spirit of the law, though not the letter of the law, prohibits discussion of family planning. It was always legal and still is legal to discuss birth control and information verbally under the protection of free speech. The change of law in 1966 meant to the welfare department that medical bills from contraceptive consultation and prescription could be processed unless the woman was unmarried, divorced or widowed. The treatment of cases is not uniform; through interviewing I did in Census Tract 15, I found one woman whose enlightened social worker has initiated conversation with...
