...Angeles Mayor Thomas Bradley is setting out cherry tomatoes in rows of planters he ordered for city hall's fifth-floor terrace. Governor Milton Shapp has become the jolly green giant of Pennsylvania by getting 25 state institutions to provide excess land, plowing, water and fertilizer for would-be sod-busters. In Milwaukee, county and city governments are leasing 2,500 plots to the public at $8 each per year. From coast to coast, gardening clinics are packing in S.R.O. audiences with Hoe-It-Yourself lectures ranging from Coping with Cutworm to Installing a French Intensive Bed (a system...
What can be done then to break down racial barriers and improve education? Professor Milton Friedman has advanced a voucher proposal, under which every parent would receive the average amount of tax dollars spent on his child, say $1000, in voucher form. He could then use this voucher to send his child to any school, public or private, he chose. This plan would benefit mostly the poor, who would have a chance to escape decrepit inner city schools.

The present crisis is again the result of government mismanagement. Friedman argues, especially government overspending and over-expansion of the money supply, which caused inflation to get out of control...
...Israelis insisted after the talks collapsed that Sadat had been hostile to them all along. The truth is that Sadat is probably the most moderate Arab they are likely to negotiate with for a long time. As Political Analyst Milton Viorst last week noted in the Washington Post, "What Sadat offered Israel was, in a word, his body. Through Kissinger, he was telling Rabin, as he tried to tell Mrs. Meir in late 1973, that he would act as Israel's broker in the Arab world if he could get some visible help from the Israelis. Whatever Israelis...
