Even some Republicans who had stood with the Administration were discomfited. James Pearson of Kansas, who voted for both nominees, said: "I do not recall a single discussion or comment, either public or private, by a single Senator, which would warrant the President's conclusion." Minority Leader Hugh Scott was privately furious at the Administration's handling of the case. Publicly, he said: "The Senate is anxious to support the President. I stand ready to help muster that support and urge the nomination of an individual with impeccable credentials...
...members of last year's team have graduated, but junior backstroker Ted Brindamour and freestyler Quentin Pearson give the Huskies some strength. They downed Columbia in December, but that is not much of an accomplishment, and Rutgers had little trouble with UConn...
...Both the Pearson report and a recent study by the Manhattan-based Committee for Economic Development recommend that much more aid be channeled through multilateral agencies like the World Bank; only 10% flows through such bodies at present. Another Pearson recommendation is that countries increase their aid to seven-tenths of one percent of their gross national product in five years. In the U.S., that would mean an annual foreign aid outlay of $8 billion by 1975. Even if Nixon seconded that motion, which is virtually unthinkable, there is no chance that Congress would go along...
Plainly, it would be a mistake to let the momentum of aid slip further. Over the past few years, 41 poor countries have managed to achieve yearly growth rates of 2% or better in per-capita income, despite sharp population increases. Pearson's goal is a growth rate of 6% throughout the next decade, and "self-sustaining" expansion for most of the underdeveloped countries by the year 2000. If the report's proposed aid increases are adopted, and if population growth can be held down-two enormous ifs -they might make it. If not, Pearson's "village...
...reporters whose influence, usefulness, or even friendship gains them favored status. Jack Kennedy nightcapped his Inaugural at the home of Columnist Joseph Alsop; Lyndon Johnson in the early days regularly called in James Reston of the New York Times for private chats and personally leaked stories to Drew Pearson. Richard Nixon has changed all that. He follows a methodical formula for the impartial treatment of members of the Washington press corps: he is equally remote from all of them. He grants no private interviews, and, until two weeks ago, had held no public news conference since the middle of June...
