...Administration's educational program also evoked some doubts. Nixon said he had directed three Government agencies "to compile a balanced and objective educational program to bring the facts to every American-especially our young people." But in light of the generation gap in attitudes toward drugs, preachments from elders are likely to have little effect upon youth. On one issue, however, the President might have been speaking for his professional critics. "Proper evaluation and solution of the drug problem has been severely handicapped by a dearth of scientific information-and the prevalence of ignorance and misinformation." To gain...
...York Tel is in the midst of a "crash program" to increase capacity. Its maintenance spending will rise from last year's $293 million to $343 million, and it is now installing 33,000 phones a month in the New York City area, up from 20,000 in 1967.

New York Tel promised to insert the listing in the last half of the press run, and to make sure that the early books are distributed...

That is not to say of course that they won't stop pumping money into it, while the more earthbound among us continue to complain that the money should be spent elsewhere. (They forget the quite fundamental point that, like smalltown high schools that spend all the money they pick up during booster drives on athletic facilities instead of curriculum reform, America will always turn to diversionary money drains rather than concentrate...
