...strategy seemed radical and daring. Today it is simply impossible. It is clearly repugnant to demands for neighborhood control, to the growing sense of specific community. Prodded by the black power advocates, even liberals have been pushing "community control." Such localism has inevitable racial overtones, which may one day result in intricate warfare. Whether or not it increases the self-reliance of the blacks, in the white areas localism means law-and-order and school segregation. Moynihan ignores these unhappy political realities. To him, the neighborhood-oriented approach is self-defeating if the neighborhoods are human cesspools. Though...
...deeper explanation than "naivete," but it is one that Moynihan ignores. It is often in the self-interest of government agencies to ignore the secondary consequences of their decisions. It facilitates both their survival and expansion. In the real world there exists little rational planning. The most critical decisions result haphazardly, for they must be ratified at a number of unrelated levels: Congress, the state legislature, and city council. The New Federalism, which Moynihan is advocating, will encourage more neglect by increasing the strength at each level...

Under this impression himself, Blythe, author of a novel and a number of television plays, moved nearby 14 years ago. Unlike other outsiders, he found much more than birds and quiet. Akenfield is the absorbing result. It is remarkable both as literature-a kind of Suffolk Spoon River-and as a sociological report on a par with Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor, a journalistic study of poverty in 19th century Britain...
...came. Despite the union, the economic gap between landowner and laborer today in Akenfield is about what it was in Victorian times. With land prices above ?300 an acre, a man on wages has no hope of ever saving enough to buy a place of his own. The simple result is a drift away from the land to the factories, a drift, (unlike its U.S. counterpart) particularly poignant because, despite everything, nobody really wants...
