Both changes dilute what until now have been considered essential elements in the antipoverty program. Community Organization, where successful, was bound to lead demonstrations and protest, since associations of the poor would find the normal channels of complaint frustratingly slow and unproductive. The Job Corps was designed explicitly for the "disadvantaged" -- and themost disadvantaged would be precisely those who had records of "antisocial behavior." President Johnson may win time with these concessions, fighting a holding action against critics until he has resources and political support to expand the program.

...shifts of meter. But the anti-phonal choruses had an excitement in their tone and enunciation, and gave a bouvancy to their lines, that prefigured the best qualities of the concert.

Peters kept the inning alive by hitting a slow grounder to short that Cornell's Chris Ritter had trouble throwing to first, and suddenly Harvard had the bases loaded...
