...first agree that Rosner and his 40 barracks buddies have it rough and may indeed go to Viet Nam. However, does his being in the Army mean that there should be no parties, no merrymaking, no New Year's Eve in the U.S. until Rosner returns? So Truman Capote had a blast. So what? Must we read the trite analogies about the Roman Empire and the U.S. every time somebody has a toot...
Mansfield declared that the time had come for Congress to defer major new legislation until it could examine the many complex, expensive programs already enacted. He said roughly the same thing last year-and was largely ignored. This year, because they reflect the current mood of Congress so well, his remarks were greeted as a bellwether.

...will be clear that this is an expensive proposal. The current pupil-teacher ratio in public schools is 24.6, the current expenditure per pupil in average daily attendance is $532. To reduce the ratio to 15 to 1, in rough but representative terms, would require another $300 per pupil. This would represent an increase in expenditure of $1020 per year for a family with three children, or, as an example, 28.3 per cent of the median income of nonwhite families in the nation...
