Beyond this lack of care, the stigma of poverty inevitably leads to more physical and mental damage. For example, two reports of the center's social workers illustrate the kind of "disease" that doesn't occur in middle-class families...
White faced an inflammable situation when he heard that James Brown, king of soul music, was scheduled to perform in Boston Saturday night. To allow the event to occur without intervention would have been to set the stage for a major incident. All the ingredients were there: a large group of young blacks gathered together, King's murderer still on the loose, and the super-charged excitement of Brown's performance to provide the spark. To close the show down, on the other hand, was equally dangerous. There might easily have been a riot if Brown were not permitted...
...cheap. The general himself is known to be bitter about the flak from home and frustrated by what he thinks has been a letdown in support from the Administration.

First, like McCarthy, Kennedy is at the mercy of a world and national scene over which he has no influence. Catastrophe of a grandeur sufficient to demolish LBJ, should it occur, might demolish him under any circumstances, with or without previous opposition in the primaries. Second, Kennedy by virtue of his name and reputation must rack up overwhelming margins to equal the impact of McCarthy's 42 per cent in New Hampshire: if the Kennedy charisma proves less dynamic in the event than...
