...better mental health. She alerted all the more than 200 CBS affiliates to be ready for a post-Maude blitz of phone calls. Thirty-five affiliates agreed to run public service spots telling viewers where they can get help. Most of the rest of the stations stood ready to refer troubled callers to state or local mental health centers. More dubious is Dr. Fieve, who wishes that the subject had been treated on a better program...

Moynihan still bristles at what he regards as widespread misinterpretation of that phrase. It did not, he insists, refer to less Government attention to civil rights, but to a need for more care, at a time of high racial tension, to avoid situations "in which extremists of either race are given opportunities for martyrdom" ?such as the 1969 Chicago police raid on the Black Panthers...
