...social programs. Above all, he fears that excessive stringency would "overkill" the economy and cause a recession like the three that occurred during the Eisenhower years. The President also wants to avoid precipitous major slashes in federal spending. These would hike the unemployment rate and put an increased number of Negroes-always the last to be hired and the first to be fired-out of work. He is unwilling to curb inflation at the price of social upheaval. Increasingly, Nixon's opportunity for slowing down the economy in a manner acceptable to all factions in the country is narrowing...

Washington has added 500 men to its 3,600-member force and plans to add another 500. One hundred and forty of the latest 1,000 graduates of the New York Police Academy are black...
...really a pleasure to watch Ince play. Even someone who knows less about lacrosse than I do couldn't help but notice his infinite polish. If you will excuse the sentimentality, it seems appropriate that Ince has the same number as Mickey Mantle did. But Harvard probably won't retire the number 7 as the Yankees will. And Ince's dedication is evident on the lacrosse field as well as on a squash court. One day when I went down to practice, everyone had gone in except for three guys. One of them was Ince...
