...would hope not. Politically, the South Vietnamese have got to create a government that commands the loyalty and support of the bulk of the population and galvanizes it into selfhelp. I hope that American troop withdrawals will be at such a rate as not to generate a sense of insecurity in the government of South Viet Nam. There must be sufficient time for the South Vietnamese to be trained to stand up and fight for themselves. If they can't, well. . . that's that...
Referring to his own efforts in Washington state to encourage a philosophy of "selfhelp" rather than "help yourself," Evans noted that,"Black America and poor America" are reminding the rest of the country "of something we very nearly forgot: that to own a share in business, to realize a profit on investment, to run a factory or a shop, to produce goods and see the money return to the community?that these, not welfare are the things which made America great, her people rich and her opportunity unlimited."

Close to 90% of drug addicts at federal hospitals suffer relapses once they are released.

Until now Nixon has not been particularly popular among Negro leaders. If Innis starts a trend, the Republican campaign may generate support...
...When you're through changing, you're through," Bruce Barton once said. There was one thing about Barton himself that never changed - his faith in spunk, selfhelp, salesmanship, sloganeering, America. That faith, given wide circulation through his uplift books, his catchy advertising copy, and his cheer fully uncomplicated politics, made Barton, son of a circuit-riding Tennessee preacher, one of the great evangelists of his day. From World War I until last week, when he died in Manhattan at 80, he remained an unspoiled and influential American optimist...
