...that he is getting results for them. He must convince middle-class whites that black progress is in their interest, because it will benefit society as a whole. He must convince Negroes that a measure of patience is in their interest, because it will help enlist necessary white support. He must accomplish this almost impossibly difficult task while dealing with institutions whose nature it is to resist change. John W. Gardner believes that the U.S. must find a way to make society (and institutions) "capable of continuous change, continuous renewal and continuous responsiveness." This is a task...
...Congress fully applied the Model Cities Program to the 130 or 140 cities involved, the annual cost could reach $4 billion or $5 billion a year. To make supplementary compensatory grants for the education of poor children wholly effective would require $3 billion. Nixon assured Henry Ford of his support for the on-the-job training administered by private industry; a three-year program for 1,500,000 hard-core unemployed would cost the Treasury $1.5 billion per year. As for reforming or replacing the welfare system, the estimates for the various income maintenance schemes that have been proposed...
...muster support, Nixon might chop as much as $2 billion out of dubious programs. First to feel the ax should be maritime subsidies, which now cost about $500 million a year, money largely ill-spent. Also due for pruning is the farm bloc's annual harvest of $3.5 billion in subsidies, two-thirds of which goes to farmers with incomes of more than $20,000. The fact that Mississippi's Senator James Eastland's plantations receive $157,930 a year for not growing cotton - while some of his constituents go hungry - ought to be reproach enough. Ironically...

Saigon demurred, still fearful that sitting at a round table with the Front would imply recognition...
...parapsychologists, as they call themselves, receive financial support from highly respectable sources. Harvard, if only to prove its open-mindedness, is currently bankrolling the efforts of Physicist Charles Buffler to determine whether there really is something to dousing-looking for water with a forked twig. As yet, he has found no proof. Last summer, the first premonitions lab in the U.S. was opened at Brooklyn's Maimonides Medical Center. So far, the lab has been unable to make a scientific case for the power of premonitions to foretell the future. In Seattle, the Boeing Co. for a time backed...
