...MUTINOUS Senate is trying to recast the conduct of U. S. foreign policy. Vietnam has been the catalyst for defining a new relationship between the executive and legislative branches. Growing bolder each year, the Senate has taken tentative steps to curtail effectively the disposal of American troops overseas-first by the passage of the "national commitments" resolution in June and now by Mathias' attempt to repeal the so-called Cold War Resolution...
...recast domestic policy, establishing a White House Council for Urban Affairs designed to give coherence and continuity to urban planning. Like many Middle Americans, Nixon reflected what would have traditionally seemed a contradictory mixture of liberal and conservative impulses. From a liberal point of view, the record of Nixon's first year is probably better than his poor public relations and awkward rhetoric would indicate. At year's end, the Administration saved its "Philadelphia Plan," designed to open construction trade unions to thousands more black workers (see BUSINESS).

Campus Leaders. What has made the difference? Some highly publicized interracial marriages have helped pave the way. The civil rights movement has recast the Negro in a heroic image.

Mixed dating is still practiced only by a small minority of the student population, and by no means on all campuses (though it is generally accepted at the biggest ones). It is virtually out in the South...
Many 80-hour-a-week executives might try something else: rejoining their families. In recasting themselves as fathers, they might recast their values and change their lives. Making a living is important, but selling more soap should not destroy the process of raising sons. And why not attack age segregation by putting teen-agers to work teaching tots and nursing old people? In Asia, age is respected instead of rejected. The present U.S. system deprives all age groups of "essential human experience," says Cornell Psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner, a father of the Head Start program, which deliberately engages parents and older...
