...only 40 in the rest of the country. By mid-January, the number outside the South will be increased to 68; investigations in nearly 40 Northern jurisdictions are under way. The entire issue of desegregation guidelines will be an extremely touchy one for Nixon, who was elected with strong support from the white suburbs yet would like to improve his low standing among Negroes...
...yearly surveys of U.S. painting and sculpture staged by Manhattan's Whitney Museum have an enviable reputation for spotting new art trends. But the Whitney's singular problem is that it is committed to catholicity, determined to recognize the new and yet to support the established, blaze trails and still find room for tradition. The result is invariably a grab-bag display where the latest avant-garde creations nestle alongside traditional bronze nudes.

Southern black colleges have never drawn significant financial support from local whites, Tougaloo least of all as a result of its long and honorable history as a hotbed of civil rights activity.

For a time, it helped Hearst print his strike-bound paper. Mayor Sam Yorty, a Democrat of sorts, put city hall...
...seeds of today's trouble were sown three years ago. In 1965, Lyndon Johnson decided that the nation could simultaneously support the Viet Nam buildup and the Great Society. Critics insisted that such policies would push up prices unless taxes were raised. Johnson refused to propose higher taxes. Such a move would almost certainly have prompted Congress to cut back some of his favorite spending programs. Later, faced with soaring federal deficits, Johnson changed his mind and urged a tax increase. But Congress dallied for 18 months-and thus lost an opportunity to halt inflation before it took deep...
