...important question about reliance on police remains. The failure of the L.E.A.A. police transfusion to lower the crime rate suggests that more money for the nation's 500,000 men in blue will not help much. Says Assistant Chief Herb Hartz of Tulsa, Okla.: "If the police could somehow become 20% more efficient, can you imagine what would happen? The courts are not equipped to handle that kind of load, and the prisons aren't equipped to handle it either." Indeed they are not. At this point, the President's new L.E.A.A. funds for improvement and innovation in criminal justice...
...number of youths has increased the rate of youth crime: a "critical mass" of youngsters has been produced, and with it separate norms and peer pressure that make adult controls difficult. As Princeton Demographer Norman Ryder sees it, there is "a perennial invasion of barbarians" who must somehow be civilized and made to contribute to society. In 1960 the "defending army" of those between 25 and 64 was three times the size of the "invading army" of youths aged 14 to 24.

Two months after the August meeting, the Soviet missiles were discovered in Cuba.

U.S. companies operating overseas must somehow adjust to that atmosphere. But the biggest scandal in American business right now is that too many seem to have become a part...
...hour by air. Differences had accumulated as the population spread out and as the colonial decades wore on. In 1760 the shrewd Benjamin Franklin (experienced in trying to bring colonies together) said that even if, in the "impossible" event of "grievous tyranny and oppression," a few colonies should somehow ever come together, "those colonies that did not join the rebellion, would join the mother country in suppressing it." As John Adams recalled, "the colonies had grown up under constitutions of government so different, there was so great a variety of religions, they were composed of so many different nations, their...
