...racial and urban crisis-Nixon has already failed his first test. The nation's blacks have been largely ignored, and the Administration has vacillated and backtracked on civil rights. While it has brought important court suits and cut off federal funds when necessary to enforce desegregation, its main thrust, in the proposed voting rights bill and school desegregation guidelines, has been to weaken the national commitment to end racial separatism. So far, the President has done or said little to convince the nation's Negroes that he is on their side...
...acquaintances of Jackie's would quibble with the general thrust of My Life.

...continuing it for another half-year at 5%. The bill also eliminates the 7% tax credit for business investment. The committee vote of 16 to 9 was the result of prodding by Chairman Wilbur Mills, a Democrat, some nudging by John Byrnes, the ranking Republican, and a last-minute thrust by the President himself. Nixon sent Treasury Secretary David Kennedy and Paul McCracken, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, out to warn the public of the perils that would result if Congress continued its inaction on inflation...
