Still equipped with its four-wheel drive, the Jeep appeals to the outdoors-minded (notable Jeepniks: Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey and Sargent Shriver), who rig it for such chores as plowing snow or use it for wheeling around a ranch. Recently, however, despite frequent refinements and the introduction of the station wagon and light-truck Jeeps, Kaiser's grip on the domestic market has been weakened by a couple of upstart Jeep-style sports models: International Harvester's Scout and Ford's Bronco. Moreover, the profit margin on sales to the military, still a large chunk...
...carried out in the 1950's by the Subcommittee on Low Income Families of the Joint Committee on the Economic Report. This attachment to research and evaluation was carried over into the operations of the Office of Economic Opportunity itself under the courageous and forceful leadership of Mr. Sargent Shriver. Surely one of the most attractive products of this process was Project Head Start. It was begun on the basis of good research information, and proceeded to research itself...
...demonstrated that while the program has strong initial effects on children during the summer, these effects are rather quickly attenuated as they arrive at their regular schools in the fall. This has led to suggestions that the program be year round, which is reasonable. But then, last month, Mr. Shriver announced yet a new proposal, Operation Keep Moving. The first point in this program is an across-the-board reduction of pupil-teacher ratios in elementary grades to that of Head Start...
Thus with regard to persons living in or near to poverty, a fundamental issue about which Professor Rainwater spoke last week is to choose between a strategy of services, which Mr. Shriver's proposal would entail, as against a strategy of income. The amounts of money a Project Keep Moving would require are in the range of those that would be needed to establish a national family allowance. I can imagine a good argument being made that if there is an extra thousand dollars a year to go round for every family in the nation, or every poor family, that...
Washington currently spends more than $25 million a year to help provide contraceptive know-how to 180,000 women in 41 states. Shriver's Office of Economic Opportunity, which cautiously began underwriting projects nearly two years ago in communities like Corpus Christi, Texas, supports programs in 75 cities from Juneau, Alaska, to San Juan, P.R. Half a dozen Government agencies-notably the Department of Health, Education and Welfare-finance the dissemination of advice and devices from pills to diaphragms. Even the Defense Department has joined the act by making drugs, contraceptives and sterilization available to 500,000 military wives...
