Gardner came into the Administration when the Great Society - a phrase he himself had used three years earlier -was little more than a slogan. With a rare combination of executive ability, intellect and idealism, he transformed the great social enactments of the 89th Congress-among them Medicare and the 1965 school act-into viable administrative programs. During his tenure, HEW's spending (excluding social security and other trust programs) nearly doubled, to $13 billion; the Government, for the first time, took a major role in the financing of elementary and secondary education and, after more than a decade...

On the stump, Romney does nothing to belie his slogan's perfervid moralizing by stressing the need to discipline children and hold families together.

Among whites and moderate Negro leaders alike, the concept inspired fears of a procession of hot summers, a raging Negro separatist movement-and perhaps in the end a costly showdown between black and white that might send U.S. race relations all the way back to the post-Reconstruction period. The new movement quickly developed its list of fanatical leaders: Stokeley Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, Ron Karenga...
