...Donald Bourgeois, a Negro lawyer in St. Louis, was suddenly struck by the thought that every residential city block forms a potential human team to press into social action. On this inspiration he built his Block Partnership program, which unites the residents of a black ghetto block with a white civic-action group. These two sides discuss and tackle all kinds of problems, ranging from jobs to plumbing. In three months, Bourgeois' program has proved so effective that he was invited by Mayor Jonsson of Dallas to help set up the same operation there. The key, says Bourgeois...
Keeping Cool. More significant was the support given Nixon by the 17 Scripps-Howard papers, including the Washington Daily News and the Pitts burgh Press. All supported L.B.J. four years ago. "In the hazardous world of these times," said an editorial that ran throughout the chain, "including the miserable war in Viet Nam, we need a President who can keep cool, who can make a decision and carry it out, who knows when to hold his tongue and when to use it.

When their debut came two weeks ago, most of France's 30 million TV viewers were tuned...
...China Cloud, two Associated Press editors have put together an impressive research project dealing with the origins of China's nuclear know-how. It was the U.S. that gave China its start. Since the 1930s, a number of young Chinese science students had been arriving on U.S.-sponsored scholarships; many contributed to America's nuclear and missile technology. During the feverish Red hunts of the early 1950s, many of the scientists fled the U.S., while others were deported. Eighty returned to China-taking with them vast amounts of information-and were pressed into Mao Tse-tung...
