...Largely this lack of notice stemmed from the fact that Watts does not strike the eye in the same way that Bedford-Stuyvesant, Columbia Point, or Hough does. Absent is the visual oppressiveness of old six-story run-downs, crumbling brownstone block houses, and the vertical caskets of towering, post-war housing projects. If one is not paying attention, it's possible and perhaps even easy to drive from nearby Inglewood across Watts to South Gate or above on the Harbor Freeway without sensing that the community is one of the most depressed areas in urban America.

I realized how military policies are themselves stimulant to the arms race. The air of innocence with which our political leaders represented...
...oversaw the Sesquicentennial Fund drive which netted a substantial $15 million. And while he may not have Pusey's appeal for the classes of the 30's and early 40's (which, incidentally, have the most money at present), Bok, young and dynamic, will be able to reach the post-war classes (which are going to have the money) much more easily...
