POVERTY: Welfare has proved ineffective and demeaning. The only answer is to create jobs. I'd do it through tax incentives to the private sector, using the Government as employer of last resort. I think business can handle most of it if we make it economically attractive...
Abernathy, who maintains that "my job is to tell the politicians what saith the Lord," had an opportunity to do so when 72 friendly Congressmen, including seven Senators, invited him up to Capitol Hill. In a 90-minute meeting, he promised to discourage civil disobedience-except "as a last resort."

Yet low and slow as it flies, the Britten-Norman (BN-2) Islander, as it is called, has proved to be a soaring success...
