...because of Mills's pressure for spending cuts, Johnson produced a budget so lacking in innovation and inspiration that his chief domestic Cabinet officer, Health, Education and Welfare Secretary John Gardner, finally resigned in despair. Yet Mills, while generally conservative, is not one of the dwindling company of Southern obstructionists who use the committee chairmanships that devolve upon them through the encrusted traditions of seniority to block anything and everything new.

All three have full-scale curriculums leading to bachelor's and master's degrees, professional-level studios, sophisticated faculty guidance. At U.S.C., for example, resident teachers of the school's 350 cinema majors include Hollywood Directors King Vidor and Norman Taurog, while Jerry Lewis is an "adjunct professor." U.C.L.A., which has an enrollment of over 300, is about to complete a $2,500,000 film-production...
