Beyond his staff, Kennedy often relies on a wholly informal brain trust-hardly a cabal, but a loose network of friendships acquired during his 15 years in politics. Foreign affairs? He may get help from Richard Goodwin, who wrote both J.F.K.'s "Alliance for Progress" and Johnson's "Great Society" speeches, or from Historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., who is also known as the best gagwriter of the lot. Military strategy? Roswell Gilpatric, ex-Deputy Secretary of Defense, may offer suggestions. Civil rights? Burke Marshall, Bobby's civil rights chief at Justice and now IBM's general...
Headed for Megalopolis. Universities that have pioneered the cluster concept seem pleased with their progress. Wayne State University's Monteith College started the current trend in 1959. The University of the Pacific, which opened its first "college within a college" in 1962, will have three by next year. Two new campuses of the University of California, those at Santa Cruz (TIME, May 13) and San Diego, are building from scratch on the cluster principle. The University of Massachusetts teaches 60 sections of freshman and sophomore courses in its two-year-old Orchard Hill residential complex; freshmen at the University...
...detail and in broad gauge week after week, as in "The Bonfire of Discontent" in THE NATION last week. In addition to such continuing treatment of the subject, we have had seven cover stories on America's cities in the last four years. They have dealt with progress as well as problems-for example, Mayor Richard Daley and the development of Chicago (March 15, 1963), City Planner Edmund Bacon and his achievement in Philadelphia (Nov. 6, 1964), and Mayor John Lindsay's approach to the troubles and delights of New York...
...latest McCone report shows that considerable progress has been made in Watts since the riots but that a great deal more will have to be done if future riots are to be prevented. Watts has no hospital, only one public swimming pool and no movie theater. In the midst of one of the nation's best school systems, its schools are congested and inferior. The job of getting to the roots of poverty has fallen largely on state and federal agencies and private industry, which together have created perhaps 12,000 jobs for South Los Angeles Negroes since...
...argued for years about the number of angels that could stand on the head of a pin never found a satisfactory answer. Contemporary scientists who are just as doggedly determined to see how much gadgetry they can cram into about the same amount of space have made remarkable progress. On a barely visible chip of silicon as small as one-twentieth of an inch square, they can now produce complex and virtually trouble-free electronic circuits containing more than 80 built-in transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors...
