...says Cry California, is simply to keep the garden well watered, fed and weeded. A strong blast of water from the garden hose is often effective against leafhoppers and spittlebugs. Such nat ural predators as birds, ladybugs and lacewings wreak havoc with aphids, caterpillars and oak moths. When poisons must be used, the problem is how to avoid overkill. The preferred pesticides are "botanicals," or natural poisons extracted from plants-for example, nicotine sulphate, rotenone and pyrethrum. Their effectiveness, though, is limited to certain chewing pests and sucking insects, such as Diabrotica and thrips. Some synthetic poisons, for example diazinon...
...just, and the white lower middle class carries its share of bigotry - a moral sin against blacks that will have to be paid for sooner or later as surely as the economic and social sins. But as the nation recognizes the le gitimate demands of the black revolution, it must also acknowledge the legitimate fears of the white reaction. Otherwise, feeling threatened, the marginal whites themselves may threaten a society that they feel has betrayed them. It does little good to condemn - and further alienate - pre cisely those working-class whites whose good will and co operation are vital...

Equally important, the cities must soon combine help for black ghettos with more aid for blue-collar neighborhoods-better garbage collections, recreational facilities and police protection...
...such confrontation is to be avoided in the long run, along with even deeper division between the races, for gotten America must be remembered in ways that unite rather than anger. Lower-middle-class whites need to see that their long-range interest lies not in defending the status quo but in organizing themselves to change it; the problem is how to convince white workers that social change can benefit them and not just Negroes. Blacks, too, need to recognize that their self-interest lies not in sterile separatism but in new coalitions with working-class whites. The nation...
...element on earth is time. Time cannot be stored or saved, or consumed at a rate faster than it is produced. The rich man has no more of it than the pauper-and no less. Previous economic theory, says Linder, fails to take into sufficient account that leisure time must be consumed, either by doing something or doing nothing. For a society both af fluent and leisured, and anxious to put every moment to good use, there are simply too many things to do. Overwhelmed by a burgeoning store of goods and services designed for pleasure, the would-be consumer...
