When our mission was completed, the entire A.R.A. staff was given a banquet in the Kremlin at which we were told that we had saved 20 million lives. Is it unreasonable to believe that many of those who defended Leningrad in 1941 were able to do so because, in 1921-23, they were saved from famine and pestilence by the Americans...
Most of Moynihan's time is presently spent in holding opening sessions with the seven Cabinet members*who sit on the council and with setting up committee work with his nine (v. the National Security Council's 29) young staff members, who often work 15 hours a day. His first top-priority assignment, suggested by Vice President Agnew, is to draft a coherent national urban policy, outlining the Federal Government's posture in relation to state and local authorities. One tentative conclusion: the Federal Government should flatly double aid to local governments when the Viet...

Working with Rice University in Houston and Loyola in New Orleans, I attempted to do essentially the same thing that FOCUS's western staff had been doing all summer-arranging admissions, financial aid, and living arrangements for a number of students coming in from the west and other parts of the South. I saw how the other half lived in another way--for the first time I was able to live in one room for more than five days, and to eat regular meals...

At Tougaloo, as with all but one of the other places, I was given free room in the Upward Bound men's dormitory.

...homes where there was no father or no mother. Or it meant that the family could not count on the extra income that the student might contribute if he worked while he went to college nearby. It is not surprising that most were skeptical at first. To the staff, this was the most challenging and exciting part of the summer-talking with the students. It struck me all the more because I was only three years beyond that same decision. Though I occasionally advised someone to stay in the area and go to school because of better local facilities...
