...education is only one phase of the self-perpetuating cycle that entraps the Negro-a low-paying job, or none at all, leading to housing in a slum, leading to a segregated, second-rate school, leading back to an inferior job. The basic way to break the vicious circle, thinks Moynihan, is with money. "Beef up the family income," he says, "and everything else will follow in its train." Moynihan proposes two measures. The Federal Government, he says, should guarantee jobs by becoming the "employer of last resort" any time the national unemployment rate is above 3%. Merely putting...
...rookies like Davis, life at the Andover training camp can be pretty lonely. The older, established players tend to be cliquey, partly from habit and familiarity, and partly to perpetuate their established positions. None of the rookies, however, find anybody not friendly. It's just business. Some of the linemen, for example, could not say who their defensive coach was. "We were never introduced, so I just call him 'coach,' says Melvin Witt, a 6-3, 265-pound tackle from Arlington State in Texas...
Realistic Figure. As for the U.S. forces, some officers in Saigon threw out the misleading information that no more than 75,000 troops were actually available for combat. But Pentagon sources quickly pointed out that the figure failed to include artillerymen, engineers, signalmen, reconnaissance men and helicopter crewmen-none of them infantrymen, true, but all of them combat forces nevertheless. A more realistic figure, the sources conclude, is between 100,000 and 110,000 combatants out of the Army's 302,000 troops in Viet Nam, plus 68,000 of the 79,000 Marines...
...None of this amounts to open revolt. Czech writers, whatever their new independence, are powerless to save from an almost certain prison sentence their colleague Jan Beneš, who was on trial last week in Prague for smuggling his manuscripts abroad. Yet the rising tide of protest seems to be achieving a degree of success. There is speculation that Soviet censors may soon release for publication Solzhenitsyn's The Cancer Ward, a novel about Stalin's secret police that has been smothered in recent years for ideological reasons. Some prominent Russian writers are even predicting that the regime...
Last week's announcement sent cigarette stocks jumping, though immediate medical reaction was wary. Columbia will set up a special corporation to handle licensing arrangements (none has yet been made), and the possibilities are potent indeed. If all U.S. tobacco companies used the filter at a fee of a penny a pack, Columbia would get $280 million a year. Whatever the revenue turns out to be, most of it, at Strickman's request, will go into medical education and cancer research...
