...finally come to do something positive about inflation and tight money. Though faced by rising wages and prices, mounting shortages of workers and materials, and a steadily increasing scarcity of money, the President had for months refrained from taking any major action in the hope that inflation would somehow stay within bounds-at least until the November elections. But inflation would not be held back, and a rising clamor for presidential initiative from both parties convinced Johnson that White House action could no longer be held back either. Last week, acknowledging that the U.S. was in the grip...
...whites battled Negro marchers this summer. Few Senators are anxious to go on record in support of the bill, and many Negro leaders, who hoped for a much tougher housing clause, maintain that it is so watered down as not to be worth the battle.

"Best way I can sum it up is this," says one bitter Negro youth, in a psychodrama about his failure to get a job: "If you're Protestant and white, you're happy and free; if you're black, you stay back just like me. I get so sick and tired of this damned line about equal opportunity. If you've got a college education and all A's and you've traveled and you've had the home exposure Whitey has, then of course you have equal opportunity...
