...last resort," a concept long espoused by Nixon's urban adviser, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Many thousands could be usefully employed as, among other things, teacher aides and police auxiliaries. Wages could run about $4,000 a year, with another $1,000 for training. Though it is impossible to say how many people would want or need this program, the Government could at least test the response this year by offering 150,000 jobs.

Before the bombs, this was the best place in all Spain. Nobody bothered us. Nobody even knew about us; we had no tourists. We had plenty of work, but when the crops were in we could say: "There's a bullfight in Madrid? Good, let's go to Madrid." Since the bombs fell, we've had one disaster after another.

I offered myself to Governor Walter Hickel as a national monument. He took one look and said, I don't believe in conservation just for conservation's sake.' . . . All the new people want an office close...
...their own needs-and above all, recognition of themselves as black people with their own history, heroes and culture. Michael Smith of Northwestern, where black students last spring briefly occupied the bursar's office (and thereby won an all-Negro center), defends the students desire for apartheid. "They say we are reverse racists, but the fraternity guys are mainly WASPS with money," he argues. "None of them really wants to associate with us, so it's necessary to have a place where we can get together by ourselves...
