...dissatisfaction with urban life. But how many Americans think of the appalling squalor of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, the bidonvilles of Algiers, the vecindades of Mexico City, or the nocturnal streets, littered with sleeping bodies, of Calcutta? There, the urban crisis is compounded by the lack of shelter, food, jobs and, above all, hope...
...spite of the grownup suspicions and fears about the event. Bethel produced a feeling of friendship, camaraderie and ?an overused phrase?a sense of love among those present. This yearning for togetherness was demonstrated in countless major and minor ways: the agape-like sharing of food and shelter by total strangers: the lack of overt hostility despite conditions that were ripe for panic and chaos; the altruistic ministrations of the Hog Farm, a New Mexico hippie commune who took care of kids on bad trips.

...Ways and Means approved a "minimum tax" plan that would require everyone to pay taxes on at least half his income. Combining proposals put forward by both the Johnson and Nixon administrations, the plan modifies the exemptions on capital gains and municipal-bond interest and eliminates the tax shelter provided by hobby-farm losses...
