This heresy has been argued most forcefully by Economists Robinson G. Hollister and John L. Palmer in a study for the University of Wisconsin's Institute for Research on Poverty. They contend that the labor shortages produced by an inflationary boom enable many of the poor to land jobs that otherwise would remain beyond their reach. Using complex mathematical formulas, they support earlier calculations that a reduction in the unemployment rate from 5.4% to 3.5%-experienced by the U.S. between April 1964 and November 1966-creates 1,042,000 full-time jobs for poor people who otherwise would...

Sketchy federal surveys indicate that wages of variety-store clerks and cleaning women in Atlanta and Philadelphia have risen faster than consumer prices in recent years. Andrew Brimmer, a member of the Federal Reserve Board, suspects that more complete figures-which no one collects-would disclose that the wages of many other poor workers have fallen...
Research groups composed of educators, psychologists, advertising people, film makers and children's authors met at five three-day seminars in the summer of 1968. Simultaneously Dr. Edward L. Palmer, an associate research professor in Oregon's state system of higher learning, began working with children across the country. "We learned that what bores them is too much time spent on any one subject." Hence the short spots. Also, "Nothing loses them faster than an adult full-face on the screen just talking." Hence the Muppets, the graphics and the film clips. "We try to keep verbiage...
